Individually: you can sell your privacy for some temporary security. But you can't sell mine.
Governements will abuse anything, and will never let a good crisis go to waste. It's not a question of if, but when. We still have the "temporary" Patriot Act in the US, while countries like France still live in a "temporary" permanent state of emergency years after it was "temporarily" instaured.
I do not trust google - but I trust government even less, because when caught with their hand in the cookie jars, at least companies have to clean their act, or face loss of customers.
Governments, not so - due to the rigidities preventing immigration.
