Oh yeah for sure, they have been for some time well before this administration as I understand it.
Facebook is even worse I believe. They allow the police and agents virtually unlimited reach into our lives without warrants. They don't even charge the government to comply with their demands. ATT used to charge the government a lot of money for wiretaps and the like, and made them get warrants. Facebook they just have to ask and they bend over backwards for them.
Maybe facebook and google are guilty on other fronts which makes them susceptible to betraying our freedoms here. Which is why you don't allow such consolidation in the first place but too late now our courts are captured as well as the regulators and they won't break up the trusts, not without a new muscular populist government on a full fledged campaign.
