google's silo is as good as or better than most, and I trust Larry Page not to do the-wrong-thing more than most CEOs out there... just always keep a backup and don't worry, be happy
I guess this is a backlash (albeit an opportunistic one for some) against Google's previously touted love for openness. I agree with the OP that unlike Larry Page, Eric Schmidt was the one who always talked openly (forgive the pun) about openness.
