Quote by: Jack  But if the OP is asking about Google becoming Big Brother I'd say that still hasn't been decided. Sure they're data miners. Sure it should be creepy to keep that much data on their servers, at their mercy. But we're still free to make that decision or walk away. However, I don't think we know enough about the people actually in charge of future planning at Google to say whether their intentions are benign or malicious. If they fail in their role as stewards for our data, we may not know until it's too late to do anything about it. (I know the NSA would love to have access to Google's database.) |
Just like communications, if the government deems the information worthy of having, they'll take it, no questions asked.
You know, if allowed in court, the information contained within could just about void anybodies Fifth Amendment rights. I mean, you volunteered all that information, correct?
That's the thing about being on top, every time you move your foot, you're on another slippery slope.
