[Osmf-talk] Phasing out Google services

[Oleksiy Muzalyev]

David Drummond's, Google's chief legal officer, clarification in the 
following CNN article changed my opinion on using  Google services. 
Still and all, Google seems to be a private company which cares about 
its reputation and clients' privacy. And it demonstrates a constructive 
position on the situation.

Google has "/long been concerned about the possibility of this kind of 
snooping, which is why we have continued to extend encryption across 
more and more Google services and links/," said David Drummond, Google's 
chief legal officer.

/"We do not provide any government, including the U.S. government, with 
access to our systems. We are outraged at the lengths to which the 
government seems to have gone to intercept data from our private fiber 
networks, and it underscores the need for urgent reform."/
