Re: Maybe someone should be asking why Google saves info

Aside from the issue of the Court requesting all this info to hand over to Viacom, another issue should be why Google needs to KEEP all this info. They are a greater threat to privacy than the judge in this case and in Viacom who merely wants the data to get Google to fork over money for hosting their movies, TV Shows, etc.
I absolutely agree with this, and I have been saying so for a while now. Everybody seems to have this blind trust in Google that's as strong as the blind hate in Microsoft.

As for the so called push to "Cloud Computing," I'm not excited about my data being housed by a third party which might have to hand it over at some point as part of a lawsuit. This case is an excellent example.
