Listers, This may be of interest, if you do not already know. As privacy advocates celebrate the FBIs decision to stop harassing Apple over the San Bernardino shooters encrypted iPhone, other tech giants seem to have finally noticed that what consumers want is privacy. But for privacy to prevail, the government must stop snooping. With that idea in mind, Google decided to change how the game is played. In an official Google blog update detailing new security measures for Gmail, the tech giant announced it would begin alerting consumers whenever the firm detects an account is being targeted or rather, hacked by government agencies or their proxies. While the company believes less than 0.1 percent of Gmail users will receive this type of warning, the idea that a tech giant is going to these lengths to give users peace of mind and privacy should give advocacy groups across the country reason to continue celebrating.

Indeed. Good move by Google. Sometime back we asked TESPOK to tell us/give us quarterly reports on what government asks them to do regarding this sort of thing. Global telco and Internet giants now make it a matter of course. When will the local telcos follow suit?
