Google wields power more subtly, and perhaps more effectively, than other big companies ever have.

They've kept under the radar as long as possible. Not that they're actually a player it will be hard for them to do anything subtly.
Seems to me, btw, there's quite a contradiction between their "do no harm" policy and their capitulation to China's censorship requirements. This has been reported, but if Microsoft (for example) had done the same thing there would have made a much louder noise.

Google has been caught more than once spying on where people go on the Web once they've geen on Google. This may be called 'subtle', but I prefer "sneaky" or "weasly".
Regardless of the rationale they use to try to make it acceptable to the rest of us, it stinks, it is not kind or helpful, it shows no respect, it is absolutely unacceptable, and it should not be legal for them to do it.
