Unless you host your own email, I assume that even without this specific backdoor built in google would have little trouble getting at the email they host.
This is not necessarily bothering to me, or unexpected for hosted services.
- jganetsk 15y agoThe backdoor would not be for Google, but for US intelligence.
- mgrouchy 15y agoI'm not sure your conclusion is exactly right. If Google can access my data anyway(even though its a pain in the ass), they can still comply with US subpoena's. I would imagine its easier to just automate the process(with a backdoor of sorts) then have to mess around doing this all the time. I don't see any details on the actual backdoor in the article, so I hesitate to jump to conclusions.
