Judge says government can access everything in a Gmail account ? privacy warriors weep

All your emails are belong to us.

At least that?s what the latest court order from a judge in New York says. The warrant, granted on June 11, states that the government can access all the content and files contained in a Gmail account.

...

The order made by the New York judge allowed law enforcement to take whatever they wanted from a Gmail account. Not just emails in the inbox, mind you, but all address book contacts and draft emails.

I assume they have been in there anyway. Sucks balls, but what am I going to do, change to another service who will give them the same access?

That said, I hope they like tranny porn.

My gmail is boring so who cares really.

If they could remove some spam while they're in there, that would be dandy.

Of course they can, with a warrant. They can also kick in your front door, cut up your furniture, dump your dresser drawers, rip up floors/walls. Having your computer and email account listed on a warrant is pretty tame stuff.

The fact is they have been able to read most electronic documents before the intended recipient could for over a decade, without a warrant. To use this information in court a warrant or tap order had to be in place when the interception took place.

What data/information you collect that is useful and what you use in court are almost always 2 different subjects.

What is boring to you may be less than boring to some GOV asshole who takes a dislike to you for whatever reason.
