Doesn't need to be as wide coverage as Google. If you only provide email service and half the population of US population is using your service, the government will come after you and ask for unlimited access to people's emails. That is already quite a lot of data. But agreed when you are like google, you basically have every piece of knowledge required to completely map someone's life. Fucked up shit.
