Maybe it WON'T be such a great service... sounds like you CAN'T delete your own mail and more!!

Interesting how much bad press google is receiving on this and all of it is privacy concerns.

I mean google isn't exactly the evil monopoly that Microsoft is usually perceived to be, interesting how they are still getting hammered on privacy issues.

It bothers me that they will no doubt keep statistical records which our overzealous Monarchy will seize (no doubt there) and use those numbers to start investigations of people. They have already shown they have no clue about email (see their law on it lmao) So if someone gets a lot of BS spams, it could be used to screw people up.

And if I CHOOSE to delete a mail, I expect it to be deleted. PERIOD. Thats the thing that bothers me most... google has the right to ignore their users decisions?! BS. We have privacy laws as well. And their saying that puters will be doing the scanning... all well and good, but a HUMAN has to read the results and verify them for accuracy somewhere along the line.
