> The problem with this belief of Google as some kind of 'benevolent actor'

You put 'benevolent actor' in quotes as if the comment you are replying to contained that. It didn't.

Stress quotes. That is just one of the possible devices to achieve that.

I see a lot of that here, people misunderstanding basic speech/writing conventions. Maybe giving the op the benefit of doubt, assuming s/he knows what s/he is doing, can help avoid some of those.
