WIRED EPICENTER | AUGUST 6, 2014
Google just bought another online communications channel it can fill with ads. .The tech giant confirms it has acquired Emu, a startup that offers a kind of instant messaging tool. The price was not disclosed, but Google's interest in the company isn't hard to divine: Emu has built a system that can monitor chats, infer what people are talking about, and insert relevant links—including ads.

That should make chat users feel great!
If they can insert ads then the tech can insert anything - including things you didn't actually say.
Try telling a judge "I didn't type that" when he has a hard copy transcript of your chat conversation.
