      @aaronwall safe to assume I'd like us to do that too. Glad to have Google on-record saying this secrecy is bad though.

      @mattcutts Maybe data privacy for users means more than just putting up a legal fight, like data purging & on-the-fly anonymization.

      @rjonesx Chrome launched with incognito; one of the first major browsers to do it. We launched encrypted search first. Combine for goodness.

      @mattcutts purging would solve NSL requests too

      @rjonesx if it makes you feel better, we were debating "delete after N units of time" back in 2003.

          @mattcutts oh, I'm sure you were. This isn't a critique of Google as much as it is a recognition of a new reality. Govs want your data...

          @mattcutts and are going after it legally (warrants), quasi-legally (NSLs) and illegally (chinese hacking). The risks to users have changed.

          @mattcutts moreover, gmail didnt exist back in 2003, nor did analytics. Both the volume of and threats to private user data have grown.
