Mass surveillance for advertising seems marginally more benign than mass surveillance by one's own government, personally. Though admittedly both are bad.

Edit: I can find alternatives for most of Google's ecosystem but mapping out accurate bus routes is terrible via OSM/OsmAnd or Organic Maps. Anyone have any tips there?

The mission statement is irrelevant when the outcome is the same. Google has data a hostile power wants and goes it to them whenever they want.
