"They are not dumb" - and neither are most of the employees of nearly every other company that does unethical things. That's not an argument.
"By the past they have proven numerous time that they have a lot the sense of responsibilities -- as employees, as a whole." - arguable, but even if true companies and their cultures change. You cannot trust a company, especially a public one, as you can a human.
Ideally I would rather the amount I have to "trust" companies be reduced wherever possible and that's only achievable via regulations and enforcement of those regulations.
That's not true. I've met some people who work in financial-oriented companies, or companies with very aggressive marketing and IP protection... well they live up to their caricature.
At some end of the spectrum you have Google, Tesla ... at the other end you can find Oracle, Exxon, Disney (relatively to how they treat property rights), etc...
Which part of my comment is not true? That corporate culture changes with time? That you can't trust companies like you can humans? I'm genuinely curious with which part you disagree.
It's nice that you can feel morally superior by working at Google (I assume you work there by how hard you are claiming they are good) but please realize that sentiment is not universally shared. _You_ can trust Google to do the right thing but the replies in these comments alone show that there's at least a noteworthy amount of people who are distrustful or at least would rather not have to be trustful of Google. And this also applies to other mega-corporations too.
You not having concerns doesn't invalidate other people's concerns. Trust does alleviate concerns but for some people trusting a corporation is a very tenuous emotion.
What is not true is your position that the company culture is not responsible anymore at Google.
The company culture at Google was proven by the facts to be responsible not long ago (the refusal to negotiate with China, the refusal to make a contract with the Defense Department), and not enough time or not enough turnover has happened since to justify a change of mindset.
I agree that the culture of a company can change, but that only happens as a result when a lot of the staff change, and that they draw in different demographics for the newcomers (with different values, etc).
