The statement was made in response to a lawsuit accusing Google of violating privacy laws when its reads emails
It follows a string of accusations against Google for it privacy policies
Last week, the group's Android phone operating system revealed a feature that will track user's locations even when Wi-Fi is turned off!

Google has stated that people should not expect privacy when they send messages to a Gmail account.
This is according to a brief that was filed last month in a U.S. federal court and recently picked up by Consumer Watchdog.
The company claims ‘all users of email must necessarily expect that their emails will be subject to automated processing.’

A brief for Google said: ‘Just as a sender of a letter to a business colleague cannot be surprised that the recipient’s assistant opens the letter, people who use web-based email today cannot be surprised if their emails are processed by the recipient’s [email provider] in the course of delivery.’

I have been using gmail since it was stil beta, and i never expected privacy,
meaning all the personal data is fake or edited.
