Why would you give all your data to Google?
They pretty much have it all anyway. Even if you use /robots.txt to

Really? It would be interesting to have evidence supporting that, because
if so, they could be subjected to pain for violating an explicit order not
to do so.
Not to mention that that could well be a criminal act since it would
constitute unauthorized access of a computer system.
If anyone has actual evidence of this happening now then please show it to
me, and I'll take the necessary legal steps to bring Larry and Sergey to
justice.
