Google Misled Users Over Data Privacy, Says Australian Regulator - MacRumors

the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) accused Google of not explicitly getting consent or properly informing consumers of a 2016 move to combine personal information in Google accounts with browsing activities on non-Google websites. This allowed Google to link the browsing behavior of millions of users with their names and identities

Huh. That doesn’t seem like something a moral and upstanding company like Google would do.
