This has been known for a while. If you're using chrome you might want to cease doing so.

None of us should expect privacy on any website...

Havent you seen the microsoft ads that call google out on this bullshit they do? (I have no doubts microsoft also participates in these acts too)

[quote]WTF[/quote]What do you mean WTF? How is this a surprise to you? Google has never hidden (and its competitors have often criticized) the fact that it combs through your email in order to target you for advertisements and collect information about you. Honestly, Google has a point -- nobody should reasonably expect privacy if they use Gmail. Google itself has made that clear for years.

oh no, now google will know that I gave money to a kickstarter and signed up for an online newspaper subscription. How can I know that they won't use this knowledge to ruin my life?

Heard about this on Fox. Google is way too invasive nowadays. A red flag should have gone off when they asked everyone on YouTube to use their real name.

I really hope they find something worthwhile in my inbox for all this surveillance. Amazon receipts, spam mail and the occasional retarded correspondence with a friend.

Modificato da Der Todesengel: 8/14/2013 6:41:25 PME-mail users in general should expect no privacy. [quote]Lavabit, an email service that boasted of its security features and claimed 350,000 customers, is no more, apparently after rejecting a court order for cooperation with the US government to participate in surveillance on its customers. It is the first such company known to have shuttered rather than comply with government surveillance. [/quote] [quote]“We knew USG would come after us”. That’s why Silent Circle CEO Michael Janke tells TechCrunch his company shut down its Silent Mail encrypted email service. It hadn’t been told to provide data to the government, but after Lavabit shut down today rather than be “complicit” with NSA spying, Silent Circle told customers it has killed off Silent Mail rather than risk their privacy.[/quote] Even people using encrypted email services aren't immune. NSA sees all. - Der

they keep track of wat i use in their free service i dont have to use, disband plz
-
Remember when their slogan was "do no evil?" That lasted like 3 years.
-
Welp, time to change email!
-
Wow. I just lost a lot of respect for Google. There isn't anything in my emails that are illegal, but still. I thought I loved you Google. YOU BETRAYED ME!
-
So google uses software to collect information in e-mails. So what?
-
Should I be switching from them or something? I have had some naughty emails in my time.
-
Why is everyone so pissed? Its not like there is a person reading those emails. They use text recognition software to flag statistically significant terms to build a profile. No human every really lays eyes on the emails. Besides, its a company offering a free service. If you want privacy in your communications, use your own email servers, or send a letter snail mail via the post office.
-
OK. So encrypt your emails if you want privacy. Would you be upset if someone read a postcard you sent through the postal system? If you want privacy, use an envelope.

Internet users should not expect privacy
-
I only use my email to sign up for porn sites, anyway
-
Something that's unclear to me: is this saying that I (as a gmail user) should not expect privacy with my emails, or what, by virtue of ghaving a gmail account, I can't expect privacy on the internet in general? Also, why are people surprised by this?
