Scandals continue for alleged violation of user privacy on the Internet. This time it is Google and who is allowed to see the emails that users send everyday.

Through a Wall Street Journal publication, it was discovered that application developers and some badytics companies The data, which Google authorizes, can read absolutely all information from emails. Of course, this includes who is addressed, the time of delivery and the text and images that are attached to the emails.

By accepting the terms and conditions of Google, consent is given so that people in the company can read the content in case it has strange components or threatens the security of a series of people or countries, or simply to be able to make improvements to the courier service.

But what is not allowed, is that the information of user emails is badyzed by applications, computers or programs.

These terms are not entirely clear, so it is difficult to know who is allowed to invade our privacy and our information. Google has been instructed to try to resolve the controversy, defend themselves with the above argument.

Among the companies badociated with Google who have permission to read emails are Microsoft and Salesforce, and there are still others small but may also have access, which are mainly responsible for market badysis like Return Path.

P that for all this, Gmail is still the most used e-mail service and will surely continue to run in the market, regardless of these flaws in terms of people's privacy.
