Wow, you're saying I the customer may have opinions regarding my chosen vendor's policies, and may choose to stop using that vendor based on new information that I learn? Crazy! Next I might consider leaving my bank if I don't like their customer service or finding a new credit card company if I dislike their rates. Sounds crazy I know! Sometimes people even use this 'Internet' thing to share information and opinions regarding various companies' policies- and buyers in a free market may make new purchase or signup decisions based on this free exchange of information, which is exactly what the author has done here. Yowza! Legitimately cannot understand this argument of 'how dare you have opinions and share information on the Internet about a company'. Is Google supposed to be above reproach or something? What is your argument? Because of Google's privacy policies I have chosen to stop using Gmail. I don't think they're evil and I'm not anti-capitalist, I just disagree with the inherent privacy tradeoff- the market at work. (And if they track me even when I'm not a user, then I think regulation should address that)
