As the article explains, these sentences are found in the programmer's
comments. They are NOT part of the terms shown to and agreed by
clients. (You really don't want to go investigating the stuff that
programmers leave in comments!)   :)

That said, if you search for - no reasonable expectation of privacy -
then you will get a fright.
Going by Supreme Court decisions, pretty much anything you send to the
internet has little expectation of privacy. Any data given to the
government can be shared to any other government agency, and also to
pretty much anybody that the government decides has a need to know.

You don't have any internet privacy left now (Just ask Eugen!).
