Is this actually practically achievable or mostly theoretical in a lab? Is it confirmed that the cops have actually managed to do this?

It's probably what has surprised me the most about all this, how much has happened on free hosted email accounts.

I guess it means that privacy from human eyes (i.e. not automated scanning) is pretty good. Or Google/Yahoo is in on a conspiracy but I can't imagine regular operations staff being made aware of it.

I can't really tell if you're joking or not but no, I'm saying that it's a bug, and at no point anything is sent off your computer

I like that the article excerpt clearly says that it’s simply about files not being removed when the trash bin is emptied, and it’s a problem specific to the Canonical snap system.. Yet every single other comment in here rants about Microsoft spyware. Not many people read beyond the headline, lol.
