GOOGLE: GMAIL USERS SHOULD NOT EXPECT PRIVACY

Google admits the obvious:
You already gave your privacy away.

 

PC WORLD - Take a look at Google's privacy policy, and you'll see that you've already granted Google the right to sift through your stuff, and yes, the policy explicitly mentions doing so to dish out tailored ads.

 

Perhaps more ominously, you will see that Google will turn over users' personal data when it's necessary to “meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable government request.” Practically every major tech company includes similar clauses in their own terms of service.

 

That might have seemed okay back when we figured the government needed a warrant to get users' data, or was at least narrowly restricted in what it could get without one. But now, there are all sorts of scenarios in which the NSA can sift through users' personal data, even if they are inside the United States and not suspected of a crime.
