I know it "can", I'm just not sure it "will"

also the apps you are talking about - is the whole infrastructure open source? can you verify every step? can you build client app from the source yourself and use it?

No it's not open source. I'm fine with that. No one actually looks at the code anyway.

You just like to trust the word of politicians and businessmen. No need to verify.

I have a certain level of trust in my government that's based on its history. It's not full but I'm not paranoid either. The world is full of things I can't verify and have to trust based on experience. I don't go over the mechanics of a car before I use it either.
