"If you put a bunch of content on a public web server, I don't think you have any expectation of privacy." That's my point: why shouldn't I expect it to be private? The only reason that cockamamy "no-privacy" philosophy prevails is because Google says so, and people swallow that crap. Google's got a very big soapbox to stand on and proselytize. I don't provide any data to Google for free; they TAKE it without my permission. To say that I should have to opt out is a morally reprehensible argument. And it's extremely difficult to accomplish. That's intentional. If I want them to have what's mine, I should be able to opt in. Google's position is anathema to creators. CREATORS. We are people who actually make things. It costs money to do so. I get no traffic from Google. Don't need it. Again, I'd be happy to pay for any benefits I might derive from Google.
