Excellent article, I agree on all you said, and my opinion is Google made the people smarter,gave with wide hands access to information and 100% made the web we have today, of course we all helped too, and an amazing open source community rize, amazing free stuff, services and finally a Free web for all as we imagined. The problem always on information security it's not the companies and special the companies in size of Google, the problem always was and will be the users and what they share, and how they do it. Google (and other companies) gave us tools to handle our security (see double authentication and Google authentication in my opinion the Best tool ever made) if we do not care about our security who will? Companies are companies, they want profit,but now one has ever contribute like Google, and finally? If you don't want to use their services, you are free to decide, there's always alternatives. Web, it's another world,no one's said that's the perfect world, but the people should be aware of what they are saying,what they are doing about their security like they're doing in the reall world. You can always install the latest alrms and security systems but the thief some time will by pass, same goes for the web, but this time you are able to handle all the information you store, thanks!
