According to an IDC study commissioned by storage vendor EMC, 161 exabytes of digital information were created and copied in 2006. One exabyte equals a billion gigabytes. By 2010, IDC expects the volume of data created and copied to rise six fold to 988 exabytes, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 57%

it seems that the sheer amount of data is forcing google to start deleting the stuff. heh, i always knew this had to be of some sort of concern. nice that google gets to spin it by saying "well were going to make things more private", taking a step out of the government's book i suppose.
