Nejsou ty lidi nejak paranoidni? Nechce se mi verit, ze by Google neco takovyho delal, vzdyt si nemuze ani pri svy velikosti bejt jistej, ze tam lidi budou dal mit mejly, kdyz pridjdou o soukromi... Nebo jsem vedle ja? Tady je pastnutej email na zaklade ktereho to vzniklo: Dear all: Due to a recent case here at the University of Goettingen that was brought to my attention yesterday (see Case Report below), I strongly caution against using Google Mail for sending unpublished scientific data. It is currently unclear whether other Google services like Google Docs, Google Groups, other Google products like Android, Jelly Bean and Chrome or cloud computing services operated by Google pose a similar risk. Please also forward this information to your collaborators and colleagues who you share scientific data with. I recommend using only University servers and e-mail accounts for storing or exchanging scientific data, or, if this is not possible, to use powerful encryption software. Cheers, Niko Case Report: A member of our Faculty has recently e-mailed uncorrected proofs of a paper in press to his co-authors. Although this person used University servers and e-mail, one of the recipients of the e-mail had an account with Googleos service Google Mail. Shortly after, and before the proofs had been corrected and sent back to the journal, the authors discovered that their uncorrected proof was freely available via Googleos service Google Scholar. A complaint at Google revealed that Googleos Terms of Use for its Google Mail service include a statement that Google is allowed to scan all e-mail communications including attachments and to potentially use all e-mail content in one or several of their services.
