Google is getting dragged into court once again for mining data in emails. On August 12, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California issued an order denying Google’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by plaintiff Daniel Matera. Matera alleged Google violated federal and state wiretapping laws in its operation of Gmail. In its defense, Google argued scanning emails was a part of its service, an “ordinary course of business” exemption in the Wiretap Act.
