And why is that? Is Google out of news? Has Google bought those privacy
organisations that were screaming murder an year ago, the legislator that

no, and I'm now repeating a point i made earlier:

Google's motivations may change.

they are, in fact, now more likely to change given the company's status as a
publicly traded company with shareholders.

this is not a non-issue. google IS analyzing data which, by many
definitions, would be considered private (the content of my email, for
example).

that many aren't worried about it (including myself in the short term)
doesn't make it a non-issue. it just makes it an issue that many people
don't worry about.
