YouTube - googleprivacy's Channel
Apparently Google has an entire youtube channel devoted to privacy issues. Currently, the channel houses 49 videos. The main page video makes mention of Google's Data Liberation Front site, which states:
The Data Liberation Front is an engineering team at Google whose singular goal is to make it easier for users to move their data in and out of Google products. We do this because we believe that you should be able to export any data that you create in (or import into) a product. We help and consult other engineering teams within Google on how to "liberate" their products. This is our mission statement:
Users should be able to control the data they store in any of Google's products. Our team's goal is to make it easier to move data in and out.
Interesting! I will definitely be experimenting with this site in the near future.

Interesting. I'm assuming this Data Liberation Front must be a development since their February 2010 Gmail Privacy site.
I think their naming (branding) of this new process is cyborg humor to the max, considering ELF (Earth Liberation Front) http://earth-liberation-front.org/ and ALF (Animal Liberation Front) http://www.animalliberationfront.com/, two intensely anti-corporate groups out to "liberate" the earthy and physical from what they deem unjust practices.
