What did I miss? Facebook has done this for well over a decade, but how does Google illegally listen in now?

Also been doing it for over a decade. Cookies and other data tracking software. The entire mainstream internet relies on google and aws. They are and have been tracking everything and attaching it to your ip and linking it to other devices and accounts like fb. All in the name of advertising and surveillance

The fact this meme mentions Facebook should tell you approximately how old it is.

Oh, you're right. The google-guy waltzes right in alongside yourself. Doesn't bother waiting outside to listen. And to disallow him entry is rocket science mixed with slapstick idiocracy.

Lucky my do i know how to load a CustomRoms.

You re right. The depiction of google is a bit off.

It's your phone, it's your app store, it's your browser, it's your email, it's your storage, it's your search, it's your maps, it's your music, it's your news, it's your credit card, it's your password manager

Google is so deeply integrated into most people's lives that they can't imagine going without it.
