Any employee is a very high bar. I certainly do believe that Google does have multiple employees that can read my email without consequence.

- sidibe 4y agoVery much doubt this. Maybe at some point in the past but it would be very surprising if anyone could unilaterally read an email at Google without going through hoops with justification
- _heimdall 4y agoI'm not sure what those hoops might look like that don't still leave at least one person with the ability to unilaterally read an email. Assuming that backdoor exists, at best there's some kind of oversight committee that has to review and approve a request to read an email. Meaning the door is there and someone has the keys, it's only process that tries to remove the risk of a unilateral invasion of privacy.
- sidibe 4y agoYeah they can just prevent unilateral access. If there's a conspiracy between however many members of the group that is required to give permission there's not much you can do about it, but I'm just saying it's unlikely a single employee can do anything.
- _heimdall 4y agoYep that's fair enough! Hopefully they do have a multi-key approach that no one, or at least very few, can work around.
- petesergeant 4y ago> Any employee is a very high bar Sure, but as is "Anyone at the FBI", per the comment I was replying to...
