The terms of service changed have been reveled for Google's Gmail. People are not happy with what the terms of service have to offer, and are primarily frustrated with the email scanning aspect of the TOS. This means that Gmail users must reveal the contents of their email and allow Google to scan them for their now personal use. The company claims that they will not put anyone's information at risk. People simply do not want their information looked at an analyzed. It's not the first thing people want to be analyzed by a company, and many wish it was not included in the TOS.
Most people don't even read the fine print, so they might not even be aware that this is happening. Google is now scanning messages both going in and out of your inbox. While some people might not be concerned, others might not want to continue using Gmail if they know this is happening. Hopefully, the word will get out to the people who don't bother to read Gmail's terms.
With Google ads popping up on people's Gmails, there is no telling what else people will see when it comes to Gmail. You do not have to use Gmail, but there may be hope for you. So do not worry.
There are currently people in court fighting against Google to get rid of the new TOS. You do not want your information to be looked at freely, and neither do they. For now you are going to have to only send emails with information you are comfortable with sharing when using Gmail.
Again, no matter which side of the debate you are on, Google has plainly stated it's intentions of scanning emails of their Gmail users, both outgoing and incoming. If you have not read the official terms of service yet, perhaps you should. The larger controversy lies with non-Gmail users who have no knowledge of these practices. Many people, though irate about it, simply chalk it up to more lost privacy as a result of the ever invasive Google.
In a controversial move, Google has updated its terms of service for Gmail account holders, revealing that it performs email scanning. The update discloses that both incoming and outgoing emails are automatically scanned using a piece of computer software. The purpose of the software is to identify keywords and phrases in the emails, and use those keywords to serve up targeted advertisements to the account holder.
