This is misleading. Not sure if by ignorance or malice, but it’s very misleading.
This isn’t happening with your browser bookmarks. This is Google Collections, which is a shareable bookmarking feature, meaning it can be made publicly available. That’s why it’s moderated. It’s basically Google’s version on something like Pinterest.
Even so - it’s not an excuse meddle with it, whatever you call it. Fuck Google.
You should be mad about the things google does. I don’t think this particular thing is unreasonable though.
Why not?
They have a duty to moderate public-facing systems. This is a link/bookmark sharing system, so obviously bookmarks that are pointing to things that are illegal are going to be dealt with.
They don’t have to, they choose to. You can share bookmarks on Firefox, but Mozilla doesn’t filter nor censor them Orwellian style.

OP claimed it’s his private bookmarks not facing public
-
the site doesn’t contain any illegal content. It’s just google being overzealous and intrusive
-
Google Keep Notes has a sharing note feature. You think it would ok for them to sniff what you noting and delete it if they didn’t like it?
-
one again - there’s nothing illegal on that website, nor is accessing it or sharing it’s address
