I know several smart people at google, and I dont want to be critical of individuals. BUT it seems sometimes like google-the-company is of the mentality that they're smart, and with enough data and some ML chops they can solve anything, and frankly I'm not as confident - but I don't find it scary.

The casual data-grabbing that they're doing is most-scary to me, since I would hope that my data would never be accessible to them/others as readily as I now suspect it is.
