> This seems like a nonsensical statement in 2015. What basis do you have for it? Most people hand over control of their data without a care in the world.
Have you watched the news lately? At least in Europe that is most definitely what users want and what the laws are giving them the right to and the courts are enabling them to do.
Unless of course, you are trying to derail this argument by meaning whenever something isn't saved on a hard drive in my safe it's out of my control. Which would be complete BS and irrelevant to the discussion (which is about "is Google trying to give control over their data to the users").
