Can your Gmail send you to jail?

google-plus

It seems that the most famous e-mail can send you behind the rails. And as an example and real fact, see what happened to a US user from Massachusetts.

A social friend request email Google+, sent by user Thomas Gagnon to his ex-girlfriend while there was already a restraining order against him, was the reason. When his ex-girlfriend received the invitation, he went to accusing Mr. Gagnon of violating the restraining order by sending the email. The police agreed, arrested him and jailed him to be released later on $500 bail.

So far you will tell us that there is no great news. And yet, the news is that Mr. Thomas Gagnon claimed that it was not him who sent the invitation email, but Google+ itself, since we all know that the company sends to gmail Your contacts (recently even made it officially known) to increase the traffic of your network.

We do not know which theory is the truth, but if Google+ acted autonomously, the otherwise otherwise sympathetic company may put you in trouble
