            Wouldn’t it be though? No one reads ToS. Most people probably owe google their kidney, their first born child, and their soul. So far as I know, which is admittedly very little, there is nothing that says a company can’t read everything you write if you agree to let them.

      Yes. Now its documented that Google is violating their terms of service. I’m sure their lawyers will point to the clause that says they can change the terms of service at any time without warning

    …Why would you post unencrypted personal information onto the cloud in the first place?

        There’s a certain level of due-diligence that you can use when you’re moving personal information around on the cloud. Hospitals have a legal obligation to keep your medical records secure; Google does not.

          Yes, I wanted to one-up your disbelief by pretending I use random text boxes to store personal information.

          Maybe one of these days I’ll make a joke that’s funny instead of confusing…

            If it makes you feel better, I’m mildly autistic, so I tend to see things a bit more literally than most.
