Doesn't relying imply trust?

• joe_the_user 16y ago
  Trust implies comfort and positive results. It's a very value-laden term. "Do you trust X to Y..." always seems like a set-up question to me. A clearer question would be "what do you expect Google to do, how effectively and consistently do you expect them to do it, how well does that serve you and what alternatives do you imagine?"

  Maybe, but the emails are mostly used for subscriptions and the like, so if they go down it wouldn't affect me that much. As for the Analytics/Docs etc. I use them because my clients do and I don't have many other places to point them to. As for Trusting, what I mean is that I think that they would breach my privacy if they wanted/had to. It's a corporation that profits based on its user data, so I wouldn't be they'll look after their users if it affects their bottomline.

  Do you trust the politicians that you rely on to run your country?
