Not doubting you, but do you have a source? Im just having trouble finding what you describe
You’re having trouble finding unpublished information?
I think google’s—and all corporations—history of saying one thing to cool off the press, and then doing another thing is proof enough.
The fact that they ever gave it is proof enough. They’re just trying to save face.
A long time ago, between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Aryas, Google had a business model where it'd keep all the private data and no-one would get to look directly at it. Then some technicians stocked their exes. Then courts required them to cooperate with police warrants. For a while Google advertised they had a legal team to resist all warrants, and make sure they were absolutely positively legal with all the ducks in order, but then they stopped not being evil. So here we are.
That is to say, Google tried, but then it enshittified.
Enshittification is the unfortunate fate of most publicly traded companies.
