But *my* point is that the distinction between sucking in data and allowing it to flow freely matters not just to us, but to Google, too. Note that Google feeds on the (more or less) free flows of data, both truly public and those where users share social-networking-style. Vint Cerf (look him up if you don't know who he is) surely knows that to change that to a Microsoft "All data yours now ours are" Passport- (to-Hell-)style model will stuff them royally. That doesn't mean they won't do something stupid if the competition ever looks like it's catching up, but the good ol' Invisible Hand is pushing Google in the direction of public benefit which is no part of its intention.[1] Footnotes: [1] ごめんね、スミス大恩師
