Google: Protector or Trespasser

The week passed by three major technology companies has publicly admitted that over the privacy of their users they put the safety of children. OR GoogleThe Microsoft and Facebook said they scanned their users' records and promoted possible violations of law enforcement. 

As for Google, you may already know that it scans them messages ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου για τη καλύτερη στόχευση διαφημίσεων που “σερβίρει' στους users of. THE procedure this takes place after the message is sent, when it reaches its destination and is stored in the cloud.

If you have a Gmail account, you've already accepted it, since the company says so in its Terms services. So it's no secret that Google is crawling your content. An automated system collects the keywords and then creates a kind of profile that includes the things you like.

The same applies to the pictures contained in e-mails and passing through Google's servers. We all know that Google has a pretty advanced technology to recognize photos and more.

Of course, a lot of people have been wondering in the last week about whether Google has the right to scan personal data. Emails are private and we should only have access to their content if we want to talk about privacy.

Google and other major technology companies, however, seem to be putting children's safety at a higher ranking than privacy. The company has never kept secret the fact that it is trying to eradicate child pornography. Over the last eight years, it has worked with the British authorities, in the hope that this kind of ill-informed content could once be eliminated.

While the measures taken by technology companies are controversial, even the biggest privacy advocates should begin to appreciate the concrete results (when they overcome their ambivalence).

Watching companies for child pornography and child abuse should be an exception and find us all in agreement. But is that the case? Who makes sure that Google and every Google will only stop at this point? Who defines the fine lines that make a tracking necessary and acceptable?
We will have to repeat once again: The internet can not be a personal data store.
The information exposes the audience to companies that see dollars and governments looking for power. Consumerism, and imperialism have the first say in the globalization offered by the Internet.
