Tiny devils advocate, IF we can make it so ONLY Google can spy on us and malware adware can NOT spy on us would be an “improvement”. Google is a lot easier to target with regulation and stuff.
That said, I wouldn’t touch Google with a 10 foot pole.

You’re not wrong. One spy is better than 1+x spies, especially if that one spy is well controlled with regulation. Better than bad is still not necessarily good.

It’s a false dichotomy. We can’t make it so only Google can spy on us, and conceding to Google has no impact on other malware. Besides, it’s the largest advertising company in the world by a large margin, with a near monopoly on online advertising. It probably wouldn’t even make a difference.
