You're right. Governments of any country could target any user. My point was, they make a point of saying "attackers" which is not synonymous with the data they release due to government requests (which is likely a more worrisome concern).
They're alerting you of "attacks" to obtain your data, but not necessarily government requests for your data.
- huntsman 11y agoCorrect this is about attacks against user accounts not legal requests. We do notify users wherever possible about legal requests and statistics are in the transparency report: https://www.google.com/transparencyreport/userdatarequests/legalprocess/ https://www.google.com/transparencyreport/userdatarequests/l...
- codelitt 11y agoThank you for the link. That's good to know, however, as you alluded to sometimes it's not possible to alert users. In that vein, end-to-end would protect those users even if you can not alert them. Your hands are tied with something like PGP because you couldn't access it even if you wanted to. Someone mentioned your end-to-end extension. Will you be releasing end-to-end to the Web Store soon? Or some other killer end-to-end solution?
