As much stealing as if the waiter borrowing your credit-card at a restaurant decided to clean your bank account instead of charging for your meal.

But anyway, that is besides the point. The point is that google forces me to trust the waiter when there is no reason for it.

In Facebook's case I absolutely do not trust the waiter. I'm glad Google tells me what the waiter has access to.
