Google is a private company. When you use Gmail, you don't really have a "right to privacy" because 1.) you are voluntarily giving up your info, and 2.) as a private company they aren't really required to give you that right.

Google did the right thing here by turning this guy in for committing a crime. That is not debatable. But the article is correct in saying that Google, a company with an extremely large presence in hundreds of millions of peoples' daily lives with access to enormous amounts of information, needs to be very, very clear in their privacy policies and what they can do with your information.
