People are up in arms as it is with Google storing information and the privacy issues that entails.I don't see a class action lawsuit having any traction. They've already said this cannot (and will not) be retroactive. It will only be active for the new forums which are designed to handle this functionality. Also, they have said there will be plenty of warnings to people before they make their first post under those new rules, so hopefully people won't be stumbling into it without realizing what they're doing.
So it would basically come down to an optional service that you have to actively buy into before it would be used. I don't think there's any complaint about that (other than the fact that if you post there now but disagree with this approach then you will eventually no longer be able to post there).
