Oh yeah... Google is a dangerous lot. All you have to do is read up on who Sergey Brin and Larry Page are and what makes them tick.
We have several clients who are concerned about their intelectual property who ask us to block any access to any Google site. Or they break out a secure subnet and only allow Google access from the 'unsecure' subnet.
But that is the option? Bing? (Microsoft) MSN? (Microsoft AND NBC)
To be more safe, if you concern yourself with these things... Beware of what you do on any website that begins with HTTP:// instead of HTTPS:// Its a start.
