Google Target of Misdirected Privacy Backlash

Google is under fire again for privacy issues related to the data it collects. Around the world, governments, privacy advocates, and individuals are concerned that Google may know too much and can't be trusted to protect the sanctity of the data it has acquired. More attention should be devoted to why the data was available to Google, though, rather than what it might do with it or whether it can be trusted to protect it.
