Google Chrome can scan clipboard content for unsafe material

Original: Google's servers can scan what you copy in Chrome for unsafe content

Google Chrome has been found to send clipboard contents to Google's servers for scanning against unsafe or malicious content, raising fresh privacy questions. The feature checks whether copied text or links match known threats, but critics argue it gives Google access to highly sensitive data without most users realising it.

Why now: Privacy-conscious users are alarmed that a mainstream browser may automatically transmit clipboard data to Google's servers.
