“Attorneys suing Google say the firm violates privacy and takes personal property by electronically scanning the contents of people’s Gmail accounts and then targeting ads to them. ‘This company reads, on a daily basis, every email that’s submitted, and when I say read, I mean looking at every word to determine meaning,’ said Texas attorney Sean Rommel, who is co-counsel suing Google. But in a federal court hearing Thursday in San Jose, Google argued that the case should be dismissed, and that ‘all users of email must necessarily expect that their emails will be subject to automated processing.’”
