#13Does anyone still remember when Western countries were scared of Huawei because the Chinese would use their hardware to spy on people? Well, guess what? The U.S. also has their own Huawei. But, at least, they're "democratic" and follow "the rule of the law" (for whatever these words mean nowadays).
Didn’t we all learn this with the Snowden files? Nothing new unfortunately

#15Just out of curiosity. Are there any companies today that are seen the way Google used to be seen, as a generally “good” corporation/companies that are also a important player? Maybe Mozilla Foundation?
Anthropic seems to be chasing that angle (c.f. their run of "AI that doesn't advertise to you" commercials).

#19Why the hell did Google even have his bank account numbers? I wish there was more information on which Google service(s) this data was pulled from.

Don't use products from large US tech companies?
Apple has a slightly better track record than Google of fighting this stuff, but ultimately if you're using a product from a US tech company then it's likely ICE can get their grubby little mitts on everything that company knows about you
