That does seem a bit dramatic. What Google did here, assuming the reporting is true, is absolutely bad but it isn't unprecedented. I'm not sure how clearing land for a development would be considered a new level of evil.

That's not the most evil thing that Google has been doing. Setting up a global surveillance network comes to mind. And algorithm based engagement on things like YouTube. They've also led the industry monetisation of personal data.
I think the world would be a much better place if Google and it's peers had never existed.
Oh I'm not defending Google there, the GGP comment just seemed a bit alarmist or extreme for this one particular thing Google did.
Yes there are many examples of worse behavior from them and many other large tech companies.
