The EFF is correct. Google is in lock step with the US governments plans of the complete erosion of our privacy rights. Google knows a lot about us all and the feds want that info.
It isn't accurate to state that the US government "plans the complete erosion of our privacy rights".
It certainly seems as if it does. They repeatedly pursue strategies to gain access to private data and actively work against compromise or safeguards. If that is too strong, I think everyone has to agree that shoring up privacy rights is something they are clearly hindering.
