The TOS For Gmail Changed

By Ahmad Faisal


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.



The truth is people like to use Gmail. This is why the new TOS has frustrated so many. There are a lot of users who feel like they are being cheated from using a valuable form of email. People have a problem with freely sharing all of their information with a company that they feel is going to use the information to sell to other companies that plan to market to them.

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.

Some aspects of this new TOS are a bit more unsettling. If you read closer you will learn that anything you store on Google servers or any content you upload gives Google a worldwide license to use that content how they see fit. Supposedly all this content is done by machines and no humans actually review it.

While Google's new TOS raises some huge concerns, will it be enough to stop people from using Gmail? Only time will tell. In the meantime, if you continue to use the service be careful what you do with it.

According to the TOS, emails are scanned while they are on Google's own services, and also while they are in transit. The news has not been well received, with many privacy campaigners expressing anger at the perceived invasion of user privacy. In the United States, there have been several suits filed against Google, but the courts have declined to combine those suits into a single class action suit at this time.
