Google is not to be trusted. Thats the hard truth. From the article:

"Outlets like the New York Times noted that Milner did raise the [privacy] issue with superiors before the code was implemented (managers claim to never have read his reports)".

Right. Nobody at Google knew anything about this engineer collecting data for 3 YEARS? Thats just not reality. Corporations doesnt work that way.

And the fact that Google lies about it shows exactly what they are like.

It's extremely interesting (read: troubling) to watch Google transform from a collection of geniuses to a bog-standard corporation under substantially the same management. Perception is everything, sometimes.

All of that data has to go somewhere. All the investigators have to do is go find the quota requests and see who approved them.
