Dude. Everything you said is correct, but:

I responded to

> Google could be requested to peer not just into the user's google account, but into accounts they have with other companies/organisations too

Your response to my response should somehow relate to that.

Well in that case, after rereading your comment I guess I agree with you. I don't think the government would deputize Google to effectively hack into other companies on their behalf. I wouldn't put it past them to ask for a backdoor into a user's device, but I doubt Google would comply with that (although there is precedent for Google remotely installing Covid tracking apps on devices in Massachusetts).
