Sergey Brin and Larry Page were already glowing before founding Google. Google Earth originally started as KeyHole, which was founded by a guy from the NRO who would later go on found Niantic and make Pokemon Go. InQtel(get it? Intel with a Q like the Bond inventor) is blatantly the glowie investment company and was a big investor in Google too.
LifeLog was a government program to create a version of Facebook which was ended almost simultaneously as Facebook launched, but that's just circumstancial by itself. Facebook's initial funding came from people associated with InQtel and Peter Thiel, who runs the private Intel agency with full government backing Palantir.
Twitter I know less about, but the role it bragged about playing in the Arab Spring says enough as is the fun schizopost that started this.
tl;dr Big tech glows so hard you can see it from Omicron Persei 8 and no one even bothers trying to keep it a secret.
