This is how I feel about this topic regarding Google and govt. The govt can easily obtain your emails and search history from ANY online source. Just recently Yahoo's Law Enforcement Guidelines where leaked . Law enforcement can buy you online info from Yahoo for $30 to $40.
Personally, I truly believe we, as in the whole world, are being slowly herded into a one world government. Part of this process is being able to access any and all information about you, ala Google Health Records. I think one of Google's top stock holders used to work in a top postion in Government. Cant find the source now.
Anyway, ultimately I think they can read through all my emails, look at my searches and where I go online but it doesnt matter because all that information says nothing about me. Sure it might show who my friends are on facebook, that I like to play games, that I read this website or that website but it doesnt reflex who I am or what I believe. I dont email personal thoughts or feelings or have conversations with people online that reveal intimate details of my life. My online profile is just a shell or crap information. The time where ours lives are private is long gone and been gone. If someone wanted to they could zoom in with satellite camera and watch me scratch my nuts in my own backyard. Im still gonna scratch mu nuts regardless if they are looking or not.
In regards to the last quote made buy the CEO. The Patriot Act could be used in a way where if I made a negative comment about the government or the President(which I do), they could flag that as terrorism. At that point we become no different than Nazi Germany.
So I guess Im in the camp that doesnt care, but i do think they would raid my house in a heart beat under a pretense of "terrorism" given the right law was passed.
