A U.S. consumer advocacy group has reignited the debate over online privacy after it unearthed a court document in which Google argues that anyone sending messages to Gmail’s 425 million users should not expect privacy.
The court document is from a U.S. class-action lawsuit in which a group of non-Gmail users accuse Google of breaking laws on wiretaps by scanning emails so that the company can target ads to users – a key component of the company’s business model.
