‘Keep Calm—Google Didn’t Just Screw Gmail User Privacy’ – ‘ReadWrite’
The latest post on ‘ReadWrite’ is titled “Keep Calm—Google Didn’t Just Screw Gmail User Privacy”.
Brian Proffitt says, “If Google’s lawyers didn’t just lie through their teeth in federal court, then a user of Gmail may have “no legitimate expectation of privacy in information he voluntarily turns over to third parties” like Google itself. But did Google just shoot itself in the foot, or is this splitting of legal hairs to a microscopic degree?
The statement from Google is part of a summary motion to dismiss statement in a class-action lawsuit against the search giant that accuses Google of violating state and Federal wiretapping laws when the Gmail service automatically scans messages in a Gmail user’s inbox to determine which ads to display for the user”.
