Thanks for posting that, but it doesn't change my stance. Again those are their services and investments. And as the video pointed out "you agreed to it all"


It's just like in life offline. You can't go to the mall and trade pedo pics and expect to have any privacy. The Internet, social media, ect are public domains, you have no right to privacy, unless you provide that private space for yourself.

stop it. No one is protecting anyone. The only one protecting a company or entity from committing crimes is you friend.

:dwillhuh: Reporting pedos is a crime?

As far as the legality of this goes read below

A hash is a unique code created by running an image through a simple algorithm. The hash of each file is then compared to a database of hashes produced by known images of child abuse – any match is an almost certain indication that the account being searched contains an illegal image. Working in this way negates the need for Google to maintain a large database of illegal images themselves, which would be legally problematic to share with third parties.

To this end, Google co-funds the Cambridge-based charity the Internet Watch Foundation, whose mission is "to minimise the availability of 'potentially criminal' internet content, specifically images of child sexual abuse (including child pornography) hosted anywhere, and criminally obscene adult content in the UK".

The IWF can supply a list of hashes of known or suspected illegal content online to third parties so that it can be blacklisted from other search engines or services, and runs a reporting hotline to allow people to report links or files. Google also runs its own searches and contributes to this lis

I agree to a certain extent. I don't think just because we agree to take part in the internet we shouldn't have any sense of privacy. Its a fine line.

Nah I'm not. The Internet is the collective work and investment of a lot of people. It is a public domain. To believe you have a right to privacy IN PUBLIC is silly as hell.

As I tell my kids, if its not something that you would do in the middle of a crowded place, you shouldn't put it on the Internet.
I see where you're coming from, but it's not quite silly as businesses do business securely through the internet all the time

They probably have software that scans all the email coming through its system and its intelligent enough to send alerts for a variety of policy violation keywords or images.
Bruh, don't believe this bullshyt ass story. They want to remove any privacy PERIOD
Why you think this "Story" is even OUT THERE?
You look at this story, while not paying attention to how they fukking you on the backend

Or else, they wouldn't be all secretive about about the policies they have in place
Prism/etc.

My NSAbox got dirt on me :damn: Government might duplicate my "stroke" :obama:

If you're concerned just switch to one of the lesser known email providers. Theres no real benefit to using gmail anyway if you're just sending emails.

I've heard that Yahoo doesn't allow this
:sas1:

I'm not surprised that Google does, matter fact, I've heard people talking about this in interviews before. I remember watching an interview with Star from Star & Bucwild and he was saying how he doesn't mess with gmail because of this kind of shyt going down. He said that he had a situation where authorities tried to get access to emails and Yahoo wouldn't allow it.

Could be wrong though.
