However, after that late November post, I have not seen much on this subject coming out of
Mountain View. I suspect that I'll be writing another post, perhaps tomorrow, pointing out Google I|O sessions that might be of relevance on this subject.Thanks for resharing these excellent posts, Mark."However, policies can change, at any time, for any reason, without warning. Or, as some guy in a dark helmet once said <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsW9MlYu31g>:I am altering the deal. Pray I don’t alter it any further."

I am sharing within Access Now and we will ping EFF since they are likely better positioned to publicize and advocate on this topic.
