MAGA/The GOP. Google financed Trump's campaign (just like meta, amazon and all that crap).
Ideologically they're pretty close and the latest changes have been in agreement to Trump's policies.

There's the golf if America thing, the fact that they have been eliminating the posibility to report bigotry in Youtube.

It's now that they work for/with three letter agencies, which isn't only a "privacy concern" in the individualistic sense, but also a democracy concern, as these agencies spy and kill activists, orchestrate, train and backup dictatorships, interviene in elections, and more.

There was an issue here a decade ago of so of google prioritising right wing media, even if it it wasn't known at all or if it was known to push fake news.

Mainly political. While privacy and security are a concern, I'm more focused on stop using products by big corporations, in particularly those with ties to fascist parties and government agencies and I'm very wary of those who try to sell their products as "private and secure FOSS alternatives" while holding similar fascistic ideas.
