????微軟（Microsoft）并不是惟一一家保留進(jìn)入用戶電子郵箱的權(quán)利的公司。《衛(wèi)報(bào)》（The Guardian）的亞歷克斯?埃爾恩稱，谷歌（Google）和雅虎（Yahoo）也都這么干。我們大多數(shù)人看也不看就點(diǎn)了“同意”，但埃爾恩跟我們不一樣，他真的看了上述公司的用戶協(xié)議。

????微軟在西雅圖聯(lián)邦法院起訴基布卡羅，起訴材料中包括基布卡羅與法國一位博客用戶的Hotmail通信。上周五公布的一份聲明顯示，微軟未經(jīng)法院允許，就查看了這些電子郵件的內(nèi)容。

????Microsoft (MSFT) is not the only company that reserves the right to break into its customers' e-mail accounts. According to The Guardian's Alex Hern -- who actually read the user agreements that most of us blindly accept -- Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG) and Yahoo (YHOO) do as well.

????The issue came to light last week when Alex Kibkalo, a Russian-born former Microsoft employee living in Lebanon, was arrested on charges that he was selling off chunks of Windows 8 source code.

????The complaint filed against him in a Seattle federal court included Hotmail exchanges between Kibkalo and a French blogger -- e-mail that Microsoft read, according to a statement released Friday, without a specific

????court order.

????Curious whether other webmail providers reserve the right to poke around their customers' e-mail accounts, The Guardian's Hern did what few people do: He actually read the legal boilerplate the providers allow you to skip past by clicking the "Agree" button.

????This is the relevant portion of Apple's iCloud agreement:

????You acknowledge and agree that Apple may, without liability to you, access, use, preserve and/or disclose your Account information and Content to law enforcement authorities, government officials, and/or a third party, as Apple believes is reasonably necessary or appropriate, if legally required to do so or if we have a good faith belief that such access, use, disclosure, or preservation is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process or request; (b) enforce this Agreement, including investigation of any potential violation thereof; (c) detect, prevent or otherwise address security, fraud or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property or safety of Apple, its users, a third party, or the public as required or permitted by law.
