If you wanted to end Google, all you would have to do is offer a reward for a whistleblower to videotape a privacy violation at Mountain View.
Imagine putting that on Youtube.
(EDIT: yes, I know they own Youtube. Of course they'll take it down. But it would be reposted on Vimeo and the like, and the publicity for the takedown would cause the Streisand effect).
Except that Google owns Youtube.
Imagine that getting taken down from Youtube in record time.
