Google scans your emails, as well as all of the content you store on their servers. Google and all other Internet service providers’ (ISPs) that offer email services do this routinely. The recent arrest of a known sex offender in Texas for sending child abuse images via Gmail caused a media stir focusing on the fact that, indeed, our emails and internet content are not private.
The idea that the National Security Agency and foreign intelligence agencies routinely scan our communications seems remote and irrelevant to our business and our clients’ interests. After all, we don’t have anything we believe would be of interest to intelligence agencies or law enforcement and the necessities of life force us to assimilate into the Internet using mass. Yet, the fact remains that scanning routinely takes place.
