Can we trust Google?

How can you trust company that can loose control over own blog by stupid mistake?
I guess it depends on what that company does.
How about company, collecting personal data of millions of users all over the world?

Next time they will make their databases available to everybody by assigning empty passwords and would say “d’oh!” – “our bad”.
Doh

From Official Google Blog: And we are back:

“The Google Blog was unavailable for a short time tonight. We quickly learned from our initial investigation that there was no systemwide vulnerability for Blogger. We’ll let you know more about what did happen once we finish looking into it.
Update: We’ve determined the cause of tonight’s outage. The blog was mistakenly deleted by us (d’oh!) which allowed the blog address to be temporarily claimed by another user. This was not a hack, and nobody guessed our password. Our bad.”

This stuff is scary.
Real scary.

  2. No corporation is safe, but i trust google, when the justice department asked for search information, microsoft, aol and yahoo, just handed it over, google took the justice department to court!! People should not be afraid of their governments.
    Governments should be afraid of their people.

  3. They wouldn’t give away information to government if it asks for it, but they could give it away by mistake. Imagine their databses avialable to the whole world even for one hour because they forgot their password expired or erased it “by mistake”.
