It's funny how they frame laws and regulations designed to prevent companies from abusing people's rights as a "larger societal debate". Yes, the debate is between people who want companies to respect their rights and companies who don't wanna. That's not a debate and framing it as such is just an obvious attempt to narrativize their stance for lobbyists. Also "perfect privacy" is a red herring (binary fallacy or what is it called?) because the compromise between no privacy and perfect privacy doesn't have to be "Google gets to harvest users' data against their wishes".
