I agree, the lawyer denies it, then says we have the right to do so now and in the future. And adds, though I can't imagine when we ever would. The right to snoop through your email is the problem (the algorithmic searching to place ads I can understand some people finding annoying but that is the bargain for using Gmail - it isn't that I am talking about - it is the snooping for whatever purpose Google has for reading your emails by a person at Google). That you promise to not do what you give yourself the right to do is not worth much of anything. I don't imagine this lawyer would sign off on legal contracts that had bad clauses that the other side said "no, leave the contract the way it is, just trust us to not ever use that clause."
