    Does Google collect too much personal information?

    Yet it took the equivalent of an employee rebellion to bring this to light. Google was moving forward and still may be - so if they're willing to apply their technology to military applications that will directly result in the killing of human beings, exactly what line so you think Google will...

    Would you not agree to that in order for significant advancements to be made in the technologies Google has expressed interest in pursuing, extensive privacy sacrifices would have to be made to facilitate the collection of the data required to make these advances?

    Certainly. Please let me clarify as well that I'm in no way insinuating anyone with an opinion different from mine is ignorant.
