Honestly it should come as no surprise that companies do this. People will see this and think oh my god! Google is going to take my life away! What they don't realize is that every time they send and email (not just through Google), every time they visit a web page, and pretty much every time they send or receive a single byte of data over the internet, it travels through multiple servers and data centers where it can easily be accessed, read, and recorded. How do you suppose you start getting spam a week after you create an email account, even if you have never used it before? Currently the information market is one of the most rapidly growing industries in the world. In the future I can easily see companies like Google controlling the entire internet.
