Google Now Peeks into your Inbox and Opens up your Emails for everybody
- alexwebmaster 14y agoBe careful with your emails if you use Gmail, Google now can have complete access to them.
- lukesandberg 14y agoIs there any proof of this, the search+gmail integration was about making it easier for _you_ to see _your_ email. similarly for Google Now. This seems like unfounded conjecture to me.
- alexwebmaster 14y agoOf course is about making easier for you to integrate your services but is also about making it easier for Google to sell your information. My friend started getting calls from Texas attorney's to the phone he used to verify his gmail account (and the line is not under his name). And after his GF emailed a poem where she included his full name, he started getting legal notices in his inbox. He lives in Florida but had a parking ticket in Texas.

- Yver 14y agoI'm sorry that I accidentally upvoted this submission. It sounds like unsubstantiated FUD to me.
- smartician 14y agoIs it possible that unpaid parking tickets go to some kind of court record, which attorneys frequently check for client acquisition? It's pretty common for someone in any kind of legal proceedings to receive solicitations from attorneys.
- gnur 14y agoHow did the girlfriend send the mail? Perhaps that was leaked, also, I don't believe a single thing of this article. If Google would be doing this, this would mean that their entire service would fail within days. Such things cannot go unnoticed, perhaps there is an angry ex out there. Pointing to Google is just an easy way out.
