Who Do You Trust Most?

As we may all know by now, Google has accidently collected reams of data in Germany while doing its street level photography.  It turns out that they were picking up data from unsecured Wireless Networks.♠  The latest state of play is to be found in this article, from The New York Times

The question is, who do you trust more on this issue regarding destroying the data?

1. Google
2. The German Government♥ 

This is a hard choice.  Given how Google has been playing footsie with China, I don't much trust them, notwithstanding their motto. On the other hand, nin the article the Germans come across as just a bit too self-righteous.
