[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 6174468, member: 19675"] If Google's lawyers were being precise when they used the "expectations of privacy" language, then everything sent via their system is essentially discoverable and admissible in court since it was handled by a third party excluded from all incarnations of privacy rules. Law enforcement might not even need a warrant to search the stuff. Because if there is no expectation of privacy, it is as if you were conversing with someone on a busy street corner in public. So, email communications with your MD, lawyer, accountant, etc. is all fair game. Email between MDs, lawyers and accountants, etc. discussing your information would be fair game. Communications between the "home office" and your mobile device would be fair game. Even if its a company phone, you have no "expectation of privacy" according to G. All because they want to [B]target[/B] some ads. And lets not discount discussions of things like adultery. That's still a criminal offense in some states, as well as an offense under the UCMJ punishable by dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement for 1 year. Again, all because they want to [B]target[/B] some ads. So, Google (and others), either charge me for the service and do away with the ads or keep emai free and put the ad software on "randomize"so you don't need to scan the contents. [/QUOTE]
