There's no data that Google doesn't want. They want what you write, they want what you say, they want where you are and what you look like. They want what you buy, who you know, what you like and what you hate. Whatever you'll give them, they'll take it, store it, analyze it and sell it, plus a little more you didn't realize they're taking.
Even if you trust the world's largest advertising company with all those details about yourself, do you trust the state they're compelled to answer to? Do you trust the disgruntled engineer, the criminal hacker, or the foreign spy who gains illegal access to that data?
Google asks for all that, and offers only a little convenience in return. I think I'll just keep paying attention to what I type.
"The worst part about these reviews is they are [subjective]--and their scores often depend on how drunk you got the media at a Street Fighter event." — Mona Hamilton, Capcom Senior VP of Marketing
