Right now google is in territory of "guilty untill proven innocent" not vice versa. What prevents you, in future when policy changes, to start using such data?

- hedora 6y agoAlmost nothing prevents them from retroactively applying a new policy to old data. Even in cases where using the data would directly violate a contract, bankruptcy courts / acquisition agreements routinely sell the data off as an “asset” and nullify any restrictions from existing agreements. A change in the law that kept the copyright of personal data with the individual the data was about would improve the situation somewhat, but it’s probably safer to just ban the collection of this sort of data set (unless there’s explicit opt-in, and people derive no benefit from opting in).
