Nine plaintiffs have brought a federal lawsuit against Google claiming that the online giant violated their privacy by scanning the contents of millions of email messages sent and received by
students that used Google's Apps for Education tools. The suit alleges that Google crossed a "creepy line" by using the data to build users profiles which were used to send targeted
marketing.
