EU investigations and pending anti-trust suits sure make things look like Google in headed in the wrong direction. I guess that whole "don't be evil" thing was fine when they were a start-up, but when you run a multi billion dollar a year operation "evil" picks up "in the eye of the beholder" status.

I'm certainly not paranoid about it (I still use google, gmail, etc.) but having search terms and web history in a database somewhere makes me cringe. One subpoena and all of that information is in official hands. Currently you can opt out of the google web history (https://www.google.com/accounts/EditServices), but there should be ways to opt out of the other data collection too.

What bugs me more is when entities can track what users exchange with each other, I predict that encrypting data (for both file exchanges and email) is going to become the next big thing in consumer privacy.
