Google Takeout is a new “data liberation platform” by Google that allows users to export their data from a number of Google products. The platform is by Google’s Data Liberation Front, an internal engineering team tasked with ensuring that users can easily import and export their data from Google’s products. Google Takeout was launched in June with a tongue-in-cheek revolutionary video by the Data Liberation Front.
Today the platform has been expanded to include Google Voice, Google’s phone and voicemail management service (see the announcement video by the Data Liberation Front).
