Today I found out that google docs infects html exports with spyware, no scripts, but links in your document are replaced with invisible google tracking redirects. I was using their software because a friend wanted me to work with him on a google doc, he is a pretty big fan of their software, but we were both somehow absolutely shocked that they would go that far.

    Google would argue that this is a security feature.

    Many business intentionally do this in google hosted email. It allows google to display warmings about links to malicious websites
