So – I could of course – reject the notion, but Google has been built on offering you something you want, in exchange for giving up something you don’t worry about too much. But every time you give something up, we really can’t mentally recall the inter-relationships between all of the things we have agreed to. Like those Adwords terms of use? Those Google Docs terms of use? and more recently Google Health… where they are giving you access to YOUR OWN medical records. Now I don’t mean to sound like a paranoid android here but… OK. I do mean to sound like a paranoid android. This is getting absurd. Viacom needs to spend millions defending their business model, and individuals have the protection of governments at least in theory in the UK but smaller companies really don’t have anywhere to turn, nor do they have the will to even try.

Dixon – you are paranoid. The online world is based on trust and transparency. If those values were infringed, the whole s@@house would come down. For Google to survive and prosper, it has to be squeajy clean.

Granted though, as EM Forster said, “evil happens when good man standy by.” Plus, I am just reading how Talleyrand handed over the Rhineland to Prussia (instead of Saxony and to keep Poland in pieces to head off Russia), insouciant of how this would contribute to the unification of Germany under Bismarck and the Franco-Prussion war which wiped out France in record time. How relevant is that?
