The article tries to make it out as if it's about privacy and integrity in general. Google is all the way up at the top of the list of crooks together with arseholes like Meta.
It's not whataboutery. I'm not the one being accused of anything here. Meta and Apple are, and there are no good reasons to bring up two of the world's top three giants in a privacy abuse discussion while conveniently leaving the third one, the biggest one, out of it. There are only bad reasons for it.
