Calm down. Deep breaths. Big companies sometimes make mistakes. No need for drama.

Yeah like Toyota with braking systems. Exposing personal data to people you don't want to have it is no big deal.

True, it is a big deal. Google goofed. But it was incompetence, not malice. Google fixed the problem. Let's move on.

Toyota's problems were incompetence; it doesn't make them any less of a big deal. Google is primarily a data company; they should understand the risks better than anyone else.

I actually think we have a false disagreement. I agree with what you're saying here. I'm just getting weary of the "look how evil (Google|Apple|Microsoft) is" drama lately. ;) It's fine to complain about this Google snafu, but asking for a personal apology from the CEO, etc. etc. just makes it overly dramatic.
