"Dear Google: If you want us to trust you to not be evil, why do you position your company and our personal data in a place (the USA) where the ruling regime can freely do all the evil they want, regardless of your organization’s basic philosophy?"

When mankide moves into space and Google can claim an asteroid or planet all of their own, they can make the rules and won't be subject to someone else's. But on Earth, there is nowhere that fits that description. Today's Utopia of freedom is tomorrow's den of villainy. I mean, prior to the Patriot Act, the US -was- that place. If the US can't stop from going down that route, why believe anyone else can?
