In one breath you are saying you trust your government because it doesn't spy on you but at the same time your government is trusting Google (a corp) and that companies black box technology to not leak any of your information.
No offense but, doubt. There is no way this system can't be taken advantage of. How is the government protecting that data? Who is responsible as steward of that data? Who do you sue when that data is compromised in a data breach?
Sometimes it's not about the government using that data against you (although that's still in the realm of possibilities). Sometimes it's about bad actors using it against you.
I think the first part was sarcastic
There's a reason we started using a "/s" to denote sarcasm in written speech on the internet.
It was sarcastic. It has been proven in court that they spy and they have for a fact, changed the law a few years back. I would not, at any chance trust this corrupt government.
