Forjo Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 According to Consumer Watchdog, Google argued in a motion to dismiss the case: "Just as a sender of a letter to a business colleague cannot be surprised that the recipient?s assistant opens the letter, people who use web-based email today cannot be surprised if their emails are processed by the recipient?s in the course of delivery. Indeed, 'a person has no legitimate expectation of privacy in information he voluntarily turns over to third parties.'" http://news.msn.com/us/google-to-gmail-users-dont-expect-privacy SANTA MONICA, CA -- In a stunning admission contained in a brief filed recently in federal court, lawyers for Google said people should not expect privacy when they send messages to a Gmail account. Consumer Watchdog said today that people who care about their email correspondents? privacy should not use the Internet giant?s service. http://www.consumerwatchdog.org/newsrelease/google-tells-court-you-cannot-expect-privacy-when-sending-messages-gmail-people-who-care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threetonesun Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I use carrier turtles. Slow, but secure. This is funny, but it's also basically the main plot point of the original Star Wars movie. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
