Facebook is already battling pretty large privacy concerns with a lot of media scrutiny. There's a lot of danger in having a tool like the graph search available to people with malicious intent. The EFF had a good post on the subject from back when it was active [1].

When you're part of a network as big as Facebook's, at a certain point your own privacy settings don't matter very much, because the people you're connected to can generally fill in the gaps about whatever you may want to keep private.

waprin's comments are on the nose with what we've experienced.

There are pain points with the flexible environment that we don't have to worry about at all with standard runtimes. The two biggest ones for us are slower deployments and a lack of monitoring tools.

Just today we actually switched one of our App Engine modules to Flexible runtimes out of necessity as we we're hitting quotas for App Engine infrastructure, and in doing so we no longer have easy access to metrics on how many instances are running or memory usage for the service. The "Cloud Trace" tools are also impaired when you aren't using standard runtimes. In short, you lose visibility into your instances. It ends up being a tradeoff between developer time and cost.

With certain runtimes in the flexible environment, you also lose out on pieces of the App Engine infrastructure like memcache, which are invaluable in optimizing services.

We use both and try to stick with standard runtimes wherever possible, resorting to flexible runtimes for things doing heavier processing and/or with lots of instances.

The standard runtimes are superior in a lot of ways, two big wins being lightning fast deployments (seconds vs. many minutes) and batteries included for all the app engine services. Logging in the flexible environment can also be a bit lacking. When you have something running in standard runtimes you basically don't have to think about many of the things that can normally go wrong on a server.

That said, many things about the flexible environment are rapidly improving, they've certainly come a long way since we first started playing with them around 6 months ago.

We use a combination of both at my company. We use the standard environment for the majority of our services, doing things like proving APIs, serving webpages, performing datastore interactions, etc. The flexible environment starts to make a lot of sense when you're doing heavier weight processing, text analytics in our case. App Engine instances are relatively cheap when you're using the smallest instance sizes, and have even more benefits if your application has idle time when they can spin down completely, but costs start to go up very quickly if you need to move to the bigger instances in the standard environment [1]. The flexible environment is current billed at the rate of the machines you're using, so is much cheaper for bigger instances [2].

I hear you there! If you're looking for a tool that scratches that itch, I've spent the last year and a half working on a could based search engine that spans all services and devices.

We inherit all the information from your existing file system structure, as well as the people files are shared with, and provide a powerful content-based search on top of that.

What this boils down to is incentives. Most of the issues with copyright that bring on legal action come from sites that aggregate data which they did not create, and then market in some way to make advertising revenue off of it. Sites that aggregate and repost news stories, for example, fall under this category because they end up taking advertising revenue from the sites which they draw their content from. Content creators in this area will then aggressively go after these sites because they hurt the bottom line.

On the other hand, your concept sounds like it would draw business to this industry, so the incentives may very well align with the very companies whose data you are scraping. I worked on a concept for a startup where we had similar, but in our research we never had any issues come up because our aims were aligned with the providers of the data that we were scraping.
