While there is much potential for abuse, there is also room for some regulation. For example, if Google decides right now to cut me off from my email, what recourse do I have? Something that requires them to mail me a DVD full of all my data at reasonable cost given proof of identity could be reasonable.

Not that I trust Bruce Schneier on this.

Why do you believe google owes you access to data you put on their servers beyond what they choose to offer as part of their service? They are under no obligation to offer you any service of any kind in the first place. Why should they not be allowed to offer you a service with any terms they choose?
