US reads all your mails , says Google?



Wikileaks personal data and emails have been handed to the US government by search giant, Google and they have been doing so for three years.

The group has been described as a “serious violation of the privacy and journalistic rights of WikiLeaks’ staff”
Google handed over the information under a secret search warrant issued by a federal judge in 2012.
The company admitted to the act on Christmas Eve 2014, telling the group that it had complied with an order from the Justice Department to hand over digital data including all email and IP addresses of three WikiLeaks staff members.
In a letter published this morning, WikiLeaks said that it was “astonished and disturbed” by the news.
It referenced similar cases with Twitter, where the social network resisted similar warrants and after legal challenges won the right to tell its users about such requests.
It asks for Google to provide information on why it didn’t tell WikiLeaks that the search warrant was issued. It also asks whether Google initiated any legal challenge to the warrants and for detail on the timeline and any further warrants issued to Google.
