The, I'm sorry, WTF? This is not Google's data.
- cameronbrown 7y agoGoogle _user_ data. And it's certainly not your data either, if you're storing it on your own servers.
- lukeschlather 7y agoGoogle seems to be casting a very wide net. In the case of the SMS Backup+ app which is open source and doesn't operate servers, it does sound like Google is essentially telling people not to store their personal data. (It's an open source app that downloads/uploads things from your phone.)
- brongondwana 7y agoYeah, totally. It's our customer's data, who is also Google's customer. Obviously since Fastmail allows our customers to synchronise email and calendars with Google, we're dealing with this right now - and kind of annoyed that our customers got emailed when we were already following Google's reauthentication process. Fun times.
- dboreham 7y agoAny progress with this? Also is it true that GSuite (paid) accounts are not affected?
- brongondwana 7y agoIt's still underway. I'm afraid I have no idea about GSuite accounts, you'd have to ask somebody who knows Google's policies.
- jsnell 7y agoThat appears to be a phrase made up by the writer of the Ars Technica article, rather than a quote. It's probably not worth getting outraged over the exact phrasing, it's just sloppy writing from a third party.
- smitop 7y agoI think they mean "the data of Google users", not "Google's data about users".
