"Let's say Google is guilty of scanning email text for ads."
that's not the question here. google scans the text of email so they can deliver relevant ads. they freely admit to that, have never tried to hide it, and have been doing it for 10 years with little to no public concern about it. The only question to be decided here is whether scanning your emails for the purposes of advertising counts as wiretapping.
- ds9 13y agoNot just "scanning emails for the purposes of advertising", but scanning the emails of people who are not Google customers and have never agreed to Google terms. That is the only point in contention.
