Google is a "random" company holding all your emails, Facebook is another one holding all the photos -and many interactions- of your lifetime (maybe not yet, but very soon), Apple is one holding all your music; etc etc.


> Google is a "random" company holding all your emails

Yes, that's a problem, and it's not even money. I don't use GMail, and it irks me that so many people willingly share our mutual correspondence with Google on my behalf.

Now, what if Google was holding my savings account and the only thing protecting me was ... what? A digital key, which they hold in escrow?
