> What makes Cambridge Analytica worse than Google, specifically?

The outright lying about purpose thing, by which CA’s key data was gathered, for starters.



I would argue both Google and many other data collection based companies do this as well. Data is collected under the auspices of being able to "provide you with better services", even though the actual purpose is to target ads to you more accurately. (They may have better legal disclaimers and statements of how data will be used stuffed in their EULAs nobody reads, but I don't feel that's much less deceptive in reality.)
