Indian Government To Ban Use of US Email Services For Official Communications

hypnosec writes "The Government of India is planning to ban the use of U.S.-based email services like Gmail for official communications. It will soon send out a formal notification to it half-million officials across the country, asking them to use official email addresses and services provided by India's National Informatics Center. The move is intended to increase the security of confidential government data and protect it from overseas surveillance."

American politicians use GMail because goverement accounts are archived and the contents are considered public property and not private communication.
