About that time Google spied on my Gmail
Google also had a class-action suit by AdWords advertisers many years ago.  They settled.  This required messaging all members of the class.  Typically this is handled by postal mail.  Google also delivered messages over email and, in the bargain, decided if your email address ended in gmail.com they'd take a peak at certain information in your Gmail account to make sure you had gotten it.  We know they did this because Google's lawyers bragged about it to the court in a legal filing.<p>I was not thrilled about this, more of the principle of the thing than for any major harm caused by that particular disclosure. <a href="http://www.kalzumeus.com/2006/07/28/googles-lawyers-admit-to-gmail-privacy-leak/" rel="nofollow">http://www.kalzumeus.com/2006/07/28/googles-lawyers-admit-to...</a>
