Drawing attention to massive privacy violations is not irrelevant whenever Google are mentioned. We should not be forgetting who we're dealing with.

The longevity of an account has no bearing on validity of ones comments.

Outsourcing isn't relevant. The issue is that Google use such methods to put a public friendly face on their service, while providing the NSA direct access to all their data.

What should be on the Google homepage:

An apology for the recent revelations How we plan to regain your trust

Cute, but please fix your massive privacy and data violations before pissing about with "Doodles".

I will not be fooled into trusting Google without massive transparency changes to how they operate.
