The part I spent the most time on was figuring out how to protect people&apos;s privacy, and these scenarios were painfully obvious even to me.&lt;p&gt;Plenty of people at Google &lt;i&gt;have&lt;/i&gt; to have thought this through, but decided the benefits to adoption of the current process outweigh the privacy problems that will happen to some people.
