Sadly though, that still doesn't resolve other problems.
How many people have gmail addresses? Use Google products, such as Google's VOIP service? How many cars, or home(now) come with such products built in?
I guess what I'm getting at is, even if you do your best to purge yourself, and even if you try to purge the government, you're still left dealing with people, and if you email them at gmail, then Google still gets the entire conversation.
And if we somehow manage to create at "Don't store this" situation, will it be like when the Canadian government passed a law, forcing Google, Facebook, etc to pay for linking to stories? Just as Australia did?
They're effectively dropped all Canadian news sources.
So, would they "drop" users who have requested no data storage? That is, you cannot email anyone at gmail? It goes into a dead hole?
I suspect that freemium, as a business model, is going to be completely incompatible with democracy.
