There are two things to consider... the technical stuff (how I log you and what info you expose), and privacy policies and regulations. If you assume the latter can be abused, it's difficult to protect oneself (e.g., government requests to Google to disclose data).
Unfortunately, I think that on the ground of privacy we have already lost our battle. There's much more to it than surfing: paying with credit/debit cards, use of badges, video surveillance, automatic toll payments based on car recognition, cell phones... you name it.
