"If millions of people have their communication history kept on Google computers," Davies said, "then that storehouse becomes a very valuable source of information for a range of unintended consequences." </b>
Sounds kinda bad, i was skeptical when i read about the emails being scanned to produce adwords on each email, but that is even worse
