I would be focusing on leaving Google behind... not promoting it. But then again, OP probably isn't aware that Google is a CIA project.

Who do you think gave us the technology for GPS - Google Maps and Google Earth? CIA and NSA combined has infiltrated or helped develop many technologies, including social media. Human data is gold to them, especially when the goal is, "Pre-crime". Minority Report is not just a sci-fi flick, it will become a reality sooner or later - the powers that be just need as much data as possible, as fast as possible (real time), and the jurisdiction.

Oh and look up: Enduring Security Framework (ESF)

If you’re the CIA, then you don’t need to own Google in order to use their intelligence.

True, you don't have to own a company, just ingest the data the company can provide of its customers.

US Navy.

NAVSTAR started in the 70s...

CIA

Why do Cookers always ascribe this most useless agency with so much power?
