I dont know Andy, it seems that google does what google does.
I think that the company is to big for public influence to some point.
I mean, its true what you say about why they did not include our opinion into the decision. but again, you cant take users on the net seriously, cus its not personal, you dont know them that well, etc.
And in the end, will it really matter?
its not like google will loose money because of it

Google is a good company, but it has not a good culture. Its philosophy is to collect world-wide information. Kang's last blog post..历史告诉我们——Google开始收录旧报纸

I don’t. No company I fully trusted to secure my data. Especially Google. It’s just too big and has the ability to control everything.

I'd prefer more control ... bu in general, I trust Google more than I do many other companies. Of course, that may be naive. Ami Ohayon's last blog post..From Jerusalem to Boston

Good point. If they were a bit more transparent on things and acted on user-engagement and/or feedback then they'd be in a better position w/consumers. Utah SEO Pro's last blog post..Building an SEO Friendly Site - SES San Jose 2008 Presentation

I hope it does come to their attention. I would love to be able to opt out of any data collection and have my data anonymized faster.

They are probably asking the little fellows and coming out with solutions that they think are fair. We may not know who all they are talking to. For instance, I am sure that this post would have come to their attention, or at least I hope that it does. Nicole Price's last blog post..Roller Skating
