Partisan jingoism, anybody...

You still haven't addressed why Google needs to hold on to information for as long as it does. Instead you rant off like a 16 year old who hasn't gotten enough sleep.

Lame partisanship aside, I welcome any investigation of Google and it's excessively long data retention practices. They have some explaining to do.

Dr. Eric Schmidt has very many mafia friends, some of whom produce p_rn, even child p_rn from captive women and children, which is how Google got sued for profiteering from deliberatly promoted child p_rnography & why they withheld the identities of child p_rn distributors from police. http://endmafia.com
