Okay I get it, you want to defend Google. To each their own. Google, like any company, is run by humans. There is no anthropomorphizing needed to place the blame for their data mining business philosophy on their shoulders. They are humans with a heinous business model, IMO. Believe what you will, and I will do the same. I'll say no more as I don't want to hijack this thread.
