I think it's more than fair to expect a company aiming to make the entire world population fully transparent to itself, to be transparent to the media/public.

I think it's more than fair to expect a company aiming to make the entire world population fully transparent to itself, to be transparent to the media/public. Eric Schmidt believes you shouldn't do anything you wouldn't want to share with anyone (aka Google). Why doesn't that work both ways? Does Google have "something to hide"? Or is Google exempt from the whole "privacy is a thing of the past" situation these companies are trying to force on us all?
