There are European wide as well as country privacy laws which companies
would have to abide by. The European are pretty strict. If you think
Google is not abiding by your privacy, then act.

European parliament has to listen if you get enough signatures.

Suggest to back up your claims and really do something about it. Purpose
of GNOME is not about privacy laws and so on. It seems a bit ineffective
way to get what you want done.
