G Suite isn't private because Google isn't in the privacy or productivity business. It's an advertising company that happens to have a product line which looks like a productivity suite. Charging money for it is just a nifty way to defray the costs of collecting data for advertising purposes.

- r0fl 8y agoDon’t be so sure, google has a strong legal team and more cash for litigation than any hedge fund
- tcbawo 8y agoIs the threat of a whistleblower witness during such litigation enough to keep them honest?
- eximius 8y agoThat's a silly argument for a couple of reasons. For one, it's just a bad business decision, opening yourself up to an incredible legal liability for relatively little benefit. For another, just because they have more funds and a larger legal team doesn't mean they can devote the same quantity of resources to that specific case. Google is huge and might have resources dedicated to legal ~100x more than any other single entity, but if Google is party to ~1000x more cases than the other party, they'll still have a tough time matching resources.
