Ah, Google

Thanks to a presentation I heard this week I found out about this nugget in the Google Terms of Service agreement:

It's an excerpt from section 11.1

By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services.

I guess most of us don't transmit information we would need to worry about becoming public, but it's something to keep in mind. And like Facebook, it is information we willingly, freely provide to the company.
