Feel free to qualify my request whichever way you like...

Google's one of the most heavily scrutinized companies in the world.
Should it start to use its DNS service to collect information on its
users, its competitors and regulators will raise the issue very
quickly.

So, until there's an official complaint of some sort in this regard,
you're just spreading FUD - unless you have a relevant URL to a valid
news report.
