<rant> As far as google anything goes, not everybody volunteers one's information into paws of google (and quite likely one or more of 3 letter agencies collecting information that way). I know (call it educated guess) that about 70% of messages I send are ending up in google databases whether I want it or not. Someone said quite some time ago: you don't need to recruit spies anymore, just roll out "free" services, and information will trickle to you. I am old enough to know what collection of information on everybody leads to (Hitler Germany, Stalin Russia, ...), but I also know that the worst lesson of history is: people do not learn lessons of history. So, I do the best I can do: roll out services people I work for may need, and avoid by any means advertising google whatever myself, I just keep neutral when that surfaces in discussions with my people. </rant>
Yep. That's why I refuse to have a google account, and why I recommended against it for business use. I have no knowledge, but even if you pay google for a "private" business account, I have next to no trust that they do not have something scanning for info to sell, or market to - we all *know* they do that to all free email accounts.
"First, do no harm"? Long gone, eaten by their marketing dept, which is why the signal-to-noise ratio has gone *way* down in the laft five years.
I'll stop the rant now, too, it's OT for the list.
