I'm not sure I'd be too worried about it. Or at least, not any more worried than I would be about any communications across a public network. Did you know Google rewrites the firmware of the 10gig NICs they use in their data centres? Inlined sniffing, plain and simple.

The operative rule of thumb is clear IMO - if you're on the net, and not manually doing your own encryption, you aren't communicating in private, no matter what the user agreement or privacy policy says.
