Wow. Seriously? Both the CIA and the NSA already have red-carpet access to Google. Besides which, Google has shown multiple times it is very very capable of doing the expedient thing the moment it senses its revenue is in jeopardy. They _will_ sell your data as soon as their revenues drop. They could easily avoid this by wording their service agreements / end user licenses as such, but ofcource like most web companies these days they don't rule out selling user data. Which one can naively attribute to "capitalism". But while companies are amoral by nature, I hope people can and do hold the people running those companies accountable to at-least a baseline level of morality.
