Google 's lawyers said in their long- running practice electronic scanning people 's Gmail account content to help sell advertising is legal, and asked a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit that seeks to stop the practice .
On Thursday in San Jose federal court hearing , Google believes that " all of a user's email must expect their e-mail will be handled automatically ."
A lawsuit brought on behalf of 10 individuals, is expected to be recognized as a class action , is widely regarded as setting a precedent for other e-mail provider.
Plaintiffs say Google "illegal open, read , and get other people's private e-mail " , in violation of California law and federal wiretap privacy contents of the prospectus . The lawsuit said the company even scan messages sent to any 4,250,000 active non- Gmail users Gmail users have never agreed to the terms of the Company .
"Read this company , submitted a day every email , said:" When I say read , I mean look at every word to determine meaning , Texas attorney Sean Rommel , who was co- counsel sued Google .
And Rommel , said: "This company 's data accumulation " can be used for more than just advertising, although the lawsuit discuss what Google might do with personal information is currently under seal .
" The damage is twofold: invasion of privacy and loss of property , Google is taking people's property , because they can get it for free , rather than pay for it , " Rommel said. "
Judge Lucy Xisu Mei said she would consider terminating the case , Google 's request, but she said she is also interested in scheduling trials next year , that she was not fired. She did not say when she decided .
Google 's privacy policy deliberations , Koh noted that Google scans Gmail is not specified , it describes the type of information it collects .
She asked: " Why do not you say 'your e-mail content? "
Google lawyer flexor Somvichian said the company is trying to have all the services of a single privacy policy, which means that it does not refer to each single product alone .
But he said it was " unthinkable " , someone using a Gmail account will not know their e-mail message will be called Google .
Its goal is how the word according to its advertising , display messages in Gmail , Google has repeatedly described . For example , the company said that if someone received a lot of news photography or camera , then it may display advertisements from a local camera shop . Google says the process is fully automated , "No one read your e-mail ...... "
" Users when they use Google Gmail account, Google can use their light to provide the service to send and receive e-mail ," Somvichian said in court . "They do not take risks , Google will disclose their information, and fully retain the right to delete their e-mail ."
Privacy advocates have long questioned the practice , and pay close attention to the lawsuit .
" In Gmail's case, Google is trying to argue that its technology is privacy and wiretapping laws exempt , if they win , it will set a terrible precedent , they will try to apply it to other Google technology , greatly threat to consumer privacy , "Consumer Watchdog Privacy project Director John Simpson said on Thursday .
