Sure the Google messaging client stores all your chats, and yes they do queries of the information stored on their servers for violators of their terms of services, which all users must agree to, so no rights are being violated. It's not so much about what they're tracking, more about information being so easily traceable.

When governments privatized many of our utilities, eg. Water, Electricity, Gas, Communications. What they essentially did, was tell us that we can trust the third party private companies with our private information, this private information governments have not tried very hard to protect. Communications are sold, resold and at the end of the day the bureaucracy level is uncontrollable and no one is accountable. Sure you could just say people wont do anything wrong with my private information because it is private. Well that is bullshit, as soon as a private company wants to cut cost and open up a call center in India, your private information is sold to the highest bidder.. But in the bureaucracy of it all, thats not any ones problems, its pass the buck time, that is essentially all there is too it. Private companies are in the business of making money, not protecting your privacy. Do you trust a private company? You are mad if you do.
