Similar rules in December 2012 introduced a service Instagram, which caused an uproar among users. The new rules contain items that give us the right to show pictures of the users on other sites without compensation for the copyright. Instagram has promised to rewrite the rules more understandable language, which, however, did not save her from the lawsuit.

Against Google was also sued - in September 2013. It said that scan emails violates federal and state laws on wiretapping and protection of privacy. The company said that the mail scanning is necessary for the proper functioning of the service.

In March 2014 the judge refused to join the applications for multiple users in a single class action lawsuit against Google, citing the significant differences in the claims. In case if the claim was wearing a collective character, Google would be more difficult to win.
