Counterpoint to your exact prompt. From Gemini, 5 examples asked for:

1. *Antitrust and Monopoly Practices:* Google has faced numerous accusations and lawsuits regarding anti-competitive practices, particularly in search and advertising. They have been accused of manipulating search results to favor their own products and services, and of using their dominance in the ad tech market to stifle competition.

2. *Data Privacy Concerns:* Google collects vast amounts of user data, raising concerns about privacy. They have been criticized for tracking user location even when privacy settings are turned off, and for how they handle and share user data with third parties.

3. *Censorship in China:* Google faced criticism for complying with Chinese censorship laws in the past, filtering search results for content deemed objectionable by the Chinese government. This raised concerns about freedom of information and human rights.

4. *Workplace Issues:* Google has faced allegations of workplace misconduct, including sexual harassment and discrimination. They have also been criticized for their handling of employee complaints and for retaliating against whistleblowers.

5. *Bias in Algorithms:* Google's algorithms, used in search and other products, have been shown to exhibit bias, particularly in how they represent race and gender. This can perpetuate stereotypes and have real-world consequences.
