I do not currently see it as worse and in fact I see it as better. If Google becomes the boundary behind which my information is shielded they are also the target for accountability. They generally seem a preferred option for this role relative to the others in the market (the little I know much about it). Further this seems a general good fit for their capabilities, business goals and role in society broadly, which is a position counter to the assertions the EFF appears to make. My position and argument is that Google should do what they are naturally doing and be held accountable for sensible privacy, etc by the law and watch that evolve. This seems both fair leverage of their market position and sensible use of it. Competition is freely able to develop their own niche, as is Brave and anyone else able to do. (For example why Mozilla hasn't developed VPN services, etc sooner is beyond me.) Hope this is constructive.
