We all knew. If you do not know it then you are one of the majority that does not read the EULA of the companies.
A former employee of her Microsoft was arrested recently because through his emails he circulated company products before their official release. On Friday we published that company representative has admitted that Microsoft scans its users' messages.
But it's not just Microsoft. Our tactics are already known to us Google, which reads the metadata of e-mails to serve relevant ads to its users. OR Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), so he could not stay behind.
But we all knew it. If you do not know it then you are one of the majority that does not read them EULA of companies.
The End User License Agreement or EULA that each of us accepts without reading it explicitly states that Apple (and many other companies) retain the right search your emails and hand them over to the authorities if necessary.
Alex Hern (Guardian) discovered, that you have effectively granted this right to Apple by clicking on button Συμφωνώ, ή Αποδέχομαι του EULA. Το ίδιο ισχύει και για την υπηρεσία iCloud της εταιρείας, αν διαβάσετε προσεκτικά τους Όρους και τις Προϋποθέσεις.
The terms are several pages, but we will give a key point that stands out:
You acknowledge and agree that Apple may, without any liability to you, access, use, maintain and / or disclose your account information and content to law enforcement, government officials, or / and to third parties, which Apple deems reasonably necessary or appropriate. If required by law to do so or in good faith, it may grant access, use, disclosure, or maintenance for: (a) compliance with legal procedures or requests. (b) compliance with this Agreement, including the investigation of any possible breach thereof. (c) detecting, preventing or otherwise addressing security, fraud or technical issues. "
The above text with a good reading will be found in all major companies that store data, see Google and Microsoft.
Apple's iCloud not only stores emails, but also pictures and videos, and of course this information could eventually end up on FBI computers if the federations ask for it.
To make it clear, all of this is the right of large companies, as they are responsible for not facilitating illegal activities. And all of us who use their services have agreed, otherwise we would not use them. If you do not feel well with the thought that someone can read your meals, you have to delete it in your inbox and if it leaks it will make you ashamed.
