I urge you to re-read this statement. It is absolutely beyond absurd. Google and governments have entirely different functions, different kinds of spheres of influence, etc… Honestly this statement makes you look incredibly ignorant.

I could make a claim that Wal-Mart is “practically like the government” because it employs so many people and effectively decides who lives and dies. Find the holes in that argument, it’s not hard.

The Communist Party of the USSR was the government. Not at first, but after they killed some millions of people, they were. That’s a pretty big difference if you ask any reasonable person.
How did you even come to the conclusion that Google is at all like the government?

Go look up Cambridge Analytica, a tool of the “right-conservative” elite. Are they worse than Google?
