I personally have a problem when I live in Georgia and a California judge arbitrarily lumps me into a class action without my consent. The simple fact that Google believes they can avoid a major problem by misleading people into believing that a California judge has the power to take away your rights arbitrarily is disconcerting. No matter whether you send in your letter, if you do not live in California, you are not binded to this class action unless you specifically stated so, and even those that live in California have a right to object, because no judge can force a ruling upon subjects, no matter how many options he/she proposes to make his ruling seem legit.
