Material - During the bombings in Austin, Google provided a blanket location/data dump to the police of everyone with Google accs within x-miles of the event. That data, regardless of linked to the bombing in the end, is kept by Austin PD and likely the FBI, forever. You have given the police a warrantless log of citizens basically based on “well they use Google and live in Austin.”
If you don’t see the glaring material issues, that explains a lot about why Google is Google.

Pass laws so your government can't do things you don't like. >If you don’t see the glaring material issues, that explains a lot about why Google is Google. I don't work at Google anymore.
