Take back your personal data
Google has established a site called Data Liberation Front (a riff on the Judean People’s Front from Monty Python’s “Life of Brian”), designed to walk you through the steps to transfer your personal data into and out of its plethora of online services. The site also seeks input from users about ways the company can live up to its “Don’t be evil” creed.
we always encourage people to ask these three questions before starting to use a product that will store their data:
Can I get my data out at all?
How much is it going to cost to get my data out?
How much of my time is it going to take to get my data out?The ideal answers to these questions are:
Yes.
Nothing more than I’m already paying.
As little as possible.
