Can Google be evil?

Even if Google suddenly disappears, we are able to substitute other programs for everything Google provides. Although the online tools we daily use can be replaced by other companies’ products, the thing is that we don’t encounter a situation we have to do it and we don’t come to think to do it.

Relying on Google apparently endangers our privacy. What guarantees that Google won’t take advantage of the information Google has stored through all their products. We can’t even fully trust our own countries’ governments, and then how come we can trust a private company? Also, centralizing information is quite dangerous of course because a huge number of information stored in Google don’t work properly and all Google users fall into disorder if Google is down.

There is an animated movie, Summer Wars. The movie describes a story that an all-powerful online system, which everyone over the world uses is hacked by AI. I’m wondering if our future may dominated by Google is going to be like the world in this movie.
