I have been somewhat of a Google fanboy (alright, too strong-a-term, but you get the idea).
I encourage people to leave Google - because you know what? If enough people leave, Google will fight EVEN harder to stop blanket monitoring. When I hear Google scream from the top of their lungs "innocent until proven guilty" and "burden of proof required" then I will believe they are doing enough. Maybe Google should change it's background color to black?
Until then, I fully support anyone who looks for alternatives.
Corporations don't deserve a second chance either.
