The government is literally asking for that data though? It doesn't really matter why Google wants it, the effect is the same. We should be concerned and we should resist giving them as much data as possible, because when the government comes knocking they'll ask for everything they have. And who and what the government wants can change quicker than you might imagine (see how the Texas government is going after women having miscarriages, for example)

But it DOES matter, because a conspiracy (which you’re arguing is happening) is when parties make secret plans jointly to commit an unlawful or harmful act. They have to make hose secret plans jointly for it to be a conspiracy. Weaving that narrative without evidence is the definition of a conspiracy theorist.
