    I dont see what the huge issue is anyway, im sure any data they collected pales in comparison to what the government stores on each person, and im sure id rather have it in the hands of a bunch of nerds then in the hands of some corrupt cop with something to prove, just my thoughts.

    I love that people are so riled up about this data that Google accidentally collected. People are comfortable to take Google at their word that nothing is going to be done with this information- yet we’ve no trouble trusting Google with the contents of all our emails, search queries, everything we access through Chrome. Trust me, if Google wants to fuck you over, they don’t need this extra data. Just accept it.
