I now hope Google stands up to other countries, mainly USA to whom they share their user data as well as log files.
When Google does that, I will be a impressed by them, threatening to leave a market in which they don't really exist is not something hard to do, when you have realized that your operating costs are going to be much larger than money you're going to make (even in the long run), it is viable to quit the market. Lot of other companies do this all the time, it is just that they don't make a huge fuss about it or write blogposts.
