GOOGLE SAID NO LEGITIMATE PRIVACY

“no legitimate expectation of privacy”.

The Internet giant GOOGLE argued in a US lawsuit that “People who use web-based email today cannot be surprised if their emails are processed,” Google said. “Indeed, ‘a person has no legitimate expectation of privacy in information he voluntarily turns over to third parties,” it added, citing a Supreme Court judgment handed down over electronic communications in 1979 – long before Google existed.
