Has your privacy been compromised in a way that conflicts with their privacy policy? If that's the case, you can file a lawsuit. Otherwise, the legal system cannot help you (and should not be able to help you). If this is a huge concern for you and it wasn't covered in their privacy policy, you shouldn't have used their product. If you implicitly trusted them, you can stop doing so now. I agree that they are wrong. I just don't think we need more legislation to patch it up. It's between consumers and the companies - the government has nothing to do with it.

And when privacy policies change, do I have to re-evaluate each time/product that may or may not be involved (since google products are sort of all merged into one)? If I do re-evaluate, and decide I no longer agree with the policy, and I delete my account is my data really gone or will the data still be there, just hidden, and part of the new policy which may give them more rights to for example sell that information? I believe facebook makes notifications of these changes, does GMail? There are lots of issues that a simple 'privacy policy' document does not solve and may that it adds.
