The terms of service changed have been reveled for Google's Gmail. People are not happy with what the terms of service have to offer, and are primarily frustrated with the email scanning aspect of the TOS. This means that Gmail users must reveal the contents of their email and allow Google to scan them for their now personal use. The company claims that they will not put anyone's information at risk. People simply do not want their information looked at an analyzed. It's not the first thing people want to be analyzed by a company, and many wish it was not included in the TOS.
The truth is people like to use Gmail. This is why the new TOS has frustrated so many. There are a lot of users who feel like they are being cheated from using a valuable form of email. People have a problem with freely sharing all of their information with a company that they feel is going to use the information to sell to other companies that plan to market to them.
The update appears to stem from a California judge questioning the clarity of informed consent. She stated that the terms of service at the time did not go far enough to garner an informed consent from Gmail users.
It would seem that Google hasn't resolved every issue in question involving this matter. People who send email to Gmail users would have no way of knowing that their emails are being scanned by Google, as they do not receive the TOS updates.
Just make sure that you know about the new TOS and that you are aware of what it means. Hopefully they will change soon so that you do not have to worry about this any longer. But either way you should be fine, so you do not have to stress over it.
According to the TOS, emails are scanned while they are on Google's own services, and also while they are in transit. The news has not been well received, with many privacy campaigners expressing anger at the perceived invasion of user privacy. In the United States, there have been several suits filed against Google, but the courts have declined to combine those suits into a single class action suit at this time.
