Tangentially related to this - what if there was a major Google information leak, and a bunch of people's lives were unleashed on the net? Think about an Android user (me), who has their 1) google searches, 2) photos, 3) voice searches, 4) location history, 5) phone calls/sms, 6) email, 7) time/date of what apps you've opened, 8) contacts, 9) grocery lists/notes, 10) tasks/reminders, 11) calendar events - practically everything about me - stored with Google. If enough people's information were released, it could be almost a social upheaval.
Beyond just keeping my data out of that ecosystem, I sure as hell hope Google has some serious talent to keep my data safe from outsiders, and insiders wanting to make a splash. I mean, I obviously trust them to some degree. But it's a scary prospect to think what would happen if an enormous trove of Google data were ever leaked.
