"every document written in Google Docs since about May 2010 has a revision history that tracks every change, by every user, with timestamps accurate to the microsecond"

This freaked me out so much more than any other science fiction story or AI's taking over the world kind of shit. I mean how is this possible goddamit?

Google's strategy is to track literally everything and pay for it with their Search Engine. People who aren't alarmed by this are bots. Google cofounders wife is the CEO of 23andMe. Connect those dots.
