> password storage

if I trust my bank to store a copy of my banking password on their own
servers, I can probably trust google with my facebook password.


> personally identifiable data

...such as using your full name to post a negative opinion of a company
using their groups app?


> sensitive legal documents

Again, I probably trust google's datacenter more than the county courthouse.


> files with family members' photos

which are then posted online for everyone to see.....


> identifiable information

which is somehow different than the personally identifiable kind. I guess
cause it's information and not data. I'm just going to take a leap of faith
here and assume by "identifiable" we mean "porn".


> medical records

which are stored off-site and accessible by medical employees around the
world.


I tend to go with Scott McNealy: "You have no privacy anyway, get over it."

Aside from having some weird EULA that says "by signing this you agree to
let us sell your medical records and family photos to whatever sleazy guy in
an alleyway we want to", I fail to see what any company's motivation would
be to get a massive market hooked on a product, and then completely disable
access to it and/or trigger the most epic PR disaster in history.

What really confuses me though is if people don't like it, they don't have
to use it...why is it important if anyone else is nervous about it or not?
