The servers are in the US. I wonder which intelligence agency ranks as the bigger one: the NSA, or Google.

One has to ikjagtinbe that. Google operates beyoind and outside the laws of countries so very oftenb, and it gets away with it. The people, on the opther hand, care more about police and courts, than about Google m- ALTHOUGH GOOGLE COLLECTSW MORE DATA ON THEM AND KNOWS MORE ABOUT THEM THAN GOVERNMENT LAW ENFORCEMENT.

Date is knowledge, knowledge about people is power. Eiether the data gets used to sell them to the highest bid, and make a fortune, or the data gets used by oneself.

Absolute data translates into absollute power about people.

Next time somebody of you feels like needing to defend "democracy" or making statements regarding "checks and balances", get aware of how absurd and self-contradictory that is if you happen to use and like Google services at the same time.

Nobody should be given so much insight into people'S life. Not governments. Not the secret police. Not private companie with a de facto monopoly status and zero monitoring of their activities. What Google (and Feacebook and Twitter and the ikes) have acchieved, is what the StaSi or KGB and institutions like that always dreamed of: total surveillance - and the targetted subjects loving it.

I would think the existence of a court order is proof that the above statement is a wild exaggeration.
