You agreed to it:

Their list of policy violations is quite long: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/148505#zippy= https://support.google.com/docs/answer/148505#zippy=
- permo-w 3y agoyes that's why I phrased it as "given themselves the right". they don't need to put that in their content policy
- lotsofpulp 3y agomysterydip’s point is that you gave google the right to do that to your document.
- withinboredom 3y agoCan you disagree with that and still use the product? So tell me how they didn't give themselves the power? If there was a true choice, then yes, the customer decided to give them that power. You could argue that you could have not used the product in the first place, but for me (not the person you're replying to), the TOS was very different in 2006. I cannot simply just move to a different service. There was no true choice. Further, if it is a corporate account, the user needs to make a living thus must choose to use the product or tell their employer they need to quit. There is no true choice.

- tivert 3y ago>> not only has Google given themselves the right to scan your documents > You agreed to it: I highly doubt that: "clicking agree" and "agreeing" are two entirely separate things. Literally no one has the time or ability to read, let alone agree, with the things they're forced to click through* in order to live in the modern world. Therefore, Google gave themselves the right as the GP claimed. * either literally by clicking through, or by opening up a box an using a product, or by having something like that silently and unilaterally amended, etc.
- jonhohle 3y agoI’m surprised that in 2023 click through agreements are still valid. It’s amusing to start a new console game and have to agree to a 30 page wall of text. Wait, let me have my lawyer review this before I sit down to play single-player CoD (choose your own game from a mega-studio).
