Google recently announced its Facebook with blackjack and whores with an emphasis on the privacy of user data - Google+. The official press release said:
Billions of people trust Google. And we feel our responsibility. That is why we have been protecting the interests of users for ten years now : we are fighting for the release of data, we are working on an open network project and advocating respect for the freedom of people to be who they want to be. However, the Google+ Project stands out from the rest precisely in that it pays special attention to the user, that is, to you. Therefore, you yourself can choose how to maintain privacy , how to become more open to others, how to communicate with friends, how to work with data, how to share your thoughts with the world around you - in all Google services.

This is all fine, no doubt. If it were not for one "but." Two years ago, during trials with the Boring spouses about their images on Google Steetview, Google’s lawyers literally stated the following :
The United States, where the action is taken is the actionable trespass. [...] Complete privacy does not exist.
Those. Google built its line of defense in court (and won the case) on the fact that there is no privacy and not every violation of privacy is against the law .
I allowed myself to throw out the word “complete” in translation, since “complete privacy” is some kind of pleonasm invented by Google: privacy or complete, or not. ')
And now Google is building its competitor Facebook, claiming that it de holy keeps your privacy. Well, yes, if privacy does not exist - it is not difficult to observe.
