Is anyone shocked at all? We should just assume that anything in any major product is backdoored. If you can't audit the code, you can't assume anything.

Schmidt was recently sued by his ex-girlfriend and business partner Michelle Ritter. In a recent Los Angeles court filing she claimed he bragged to her about being able to personally snoop and alter data for any Gmail or Google Drive user – and claims he did so to her. Schmidt's lawyers deny the allegations filed by Ritter in a proposed amended complaint last month and added the Republicans can look but won't find anything. Patricia Glaser, Schmidt's attorney, told the Daily Mail that Ritter's recent filings are 'the latest desperate and destructive effort to publish false and defamatory statements - which are directly contradicted by her own words'.
