Google Adwords Contact Form Extension Now Autofilled? Wow!

For the first time, I saw one in the wild that autofilled my email address. I am surprised that google would take this step given the climate for increased privacy. Based on the privacy link (I hovered to get the screenshot) and the appeal for me to read their new privacy policy in the top right, we can infer that Google is aware that people might react badly to this. The defense to this would likely be the cloak of transparency combined with the fact that I probably gave them permission. My default answer to Google’s privacy questions is yes, often without reading. Like a teenager in the backseat of a car, just trying to see to see how far they’ll go.
