Google Says That Gmail Users Shouldn't Expect Privacy
- The Guardian, Wednesday, August 14, 2013 12:03 PM
Gmail users should not expect that their emails are confidential, said Google in a court filing for a class action suit filed earlier this summer. Advocacy group Consumer Watchdog uncovered the filed and said that this is a "stunning admission" from Google, as the company has come under scrutiny for allegedly sharing private user data with the NSA. John Simpson, director of the Consumer Watchdog privacy project told The Guardian, "People should take them at their word; if you care about your email correspondents' privacy, don't use Gmail."
