If you’re a fan of Google-is-getting-too-powerful-for-its-own-good conspiracies, this piece by independent security specialist Sherri Davidoff on her Philosecurity blog is a must read.
Davidoff explores how Google is gradually gaining greater access to government data by landing municipal contracts from the city of Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and others who have “Gone Google.”
Going Google of course refers to companies, or government agencies, as it were, who opt to use Google Apps, the suite of collaboration applications that includes Gmail, Google Docs, Google Sites, Google Talk and other apps that the search engine hosts on its own servers.
For example, Google in October won a $7.25 million contract with Los Angeles to power Google Apps for 34,000 municipal employees.
