And even if it was going to compromise privacy, I doubt that Google was 
going do anything that wasn't stated in a user agreement... and 
assuming such, the customer has the every right to discard their 
privacy.

My point has nothing to do with what Google's service is or isn't, but 
rather preserving freedoms within the bounds of ethics, morality, and 
the law.
