Indeed yeh, it's not that I have issue with. It's the way it's worded.
ie.. encryption mentioned twice but no mention of Google being able to
read the clear text. It is fully detailed in the privacy policy and is
obvious to anyone with a clue about networking/security, however why
have an FAQ if it just skirts the issue. Seems like misdirection to me.
