[...] This is unreal: Google voluntarily "peaked" at the contents of over 75,000 gmail accounts to convince a judge that they were eager to settle a lawsuit. Specifically, they checked whether a message a Google-affiliated law firm had sent was marked as spam or not. The whole thing is recounted in a linked pdf-ed legal filing.

I really don’t mind, Google can look at my emails as much as they want as long as I am using their free service. I have to admit that when I signed up to Gmail I knew my stuff would be looked at – not ecactly looked at by some mid-level manager at Google but at least some bot of sorts.

Great read, and your right about class actions being a scam…

First, they didn’t share it.
Second, they effectively used a shell script to search for an email and double check that it wasn’t marked as spam. I seriously doubt any humans actually read said mail.
Do you have a problem with an indexed version of your email being scanned by a machine to make sure you get important documents? Oh, wait. That already happens anyway…

Email should be like the regular mail. No one can tamper with it unless it addressed to them.
