I do find it rather fitting that Google, of all companies, would take issue with ethical oversignt standing in the way of technical "progress", which was their specious argument for their veto. That essentially describes their entire corporate MO.
Their veto being interpreted as anti-privacy is one thing, but their reasoning for the veto is, in my view, even worse. In attempting to steer the conversation away from their anti-privacy stance, they drove straight into a wall of "any kind of ethics in software should be an afterthought". Not good.
