Google tells Gmail users Facebook is a trap

You have to love Google.

"Although we strongly disagree with this data protectionism, the choice is yours. Because, after all, you should have control over your data. " That is simply fantastic. At least they aren't going against their principles and refusing to let you move the data. That takes REAL integrity folks.
 
Although Google is a huge company that withholds so much personal information about so many people, they are much more transparent than Facebook, and one can opt out of pretty much anything that collects information, so when it comes to this Facebook x Google thing, I lean more towards Google on this.
Also I just read something somewhere about rumors touting Facebook Email..o>O

Google is starting to sound like a bunch of cry babies. I wish they would just embrace facebook. Google can't rule everything and we would have much better Google services if it integrated into facebook.

whats wrong with what google is doing? they aren't being cry babies, they're just taking the common decency to do what facebook won't, warning you about the fine print. it's not like they're restricting u from doing what u want. u can still import yur data to facebook so i don't see what the problem is.
 
great move for google. just goes to show their concern for the safety and privacy of its users. i loled at "are you super sure". still, the users still have the option to do sio. i just hope they care more about their personal information as much as google
 
3 reasons why I don't subscribe to social networking sites like Facebook. One, there is a very high probability that your personal information will be sold to third parties. Two, whatever personal information that the site doesn't actually sell to other parties, is not adequately protected from hackers, identity thieves, etc. And lastly, anything that you post in these sites can never be completely and totally erased or deleted. The information will always reside in a server somewhere on the internet.
