Google itself, and other companies, may have the best of intentions and never willingly violate your privacy. At the same time, the NSA, tapped into the major Internet routers as they are already and probably with unlimited access to services like ChoicePoint, could be watching everything we do on Google, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, SMS texting, mobile location, AIM, Yahoo, QQ, and every other significant networking system, as well as banking and debit/credit transactions. The companies themselves do not need to help those who would desire to spy on us. We WILL be watched, just as people out on the street or local grocery watch you as you pass by and many cameras record you every day. The question becomes when has it all gone too far. What we have to do is be vigilant, keep an eye on the courts, and make sure the legislators are protecting our privacy with appropriate laws.
