I have first hand knowledge of this. A few years ago, I’m nearly certain that Google accessed my Gmail account after I broke a major story about Google.

A couple of weeks after the story broke my source, a Google employee, approached me at a party in person in a very inebriated state and said that they (I’m being gender neutral here) had been asked by Google if they were the source. The source denied it, but was then shown an email that proved that they were the source. It's a very serious claim; we'll see how this develops.]]> google gmail arrington https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:guardiantech/b:cb246d82cfba/ About Pando >> Uncrunched 2012-04-11T05:23:08+00:00 http://uncrunched.com/2012/04/09/about-pando/ guardiantechSome of you may have read Sarah Lacy's post today stating that I'm no longer on the board of Pando Daily.

This wasn't a complete surprise to me, the company notified me last week that they weren't happy that I and MG Siegler (my partner at CrunchFund) were going to speak at TechCrunch Disrupt this coming May.

Part of the reason that I'm speaking at Disrupt is that I have a contractual commitment to do so as part of my break with them last year, which Sarah knew about before our involvement in Pando. But MG and I are also speaking there because we still love TechCrunch. And we both speak at many other conferences as well. Hints of trouble in paradise.

1. Reaffirmation of the editorial independence promised at the time of acquisition. Given the current circumstances, that means autonomy from Huffington Post, unfettered editorial independence and a blanket right to editorial self determination. To put it simply, TechCrunch would stay with Aol but would be independent of the Huffington Post.

2. Sell TechCrunch back to the original shareholders."
