Like full access to all of your past email for advertisers to glean for information.
And when you delete an email it is never really deleted so its always available for other people to look up.
Oh and after 180 days your email is no longer protected communication under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and since you can't delete it that means every email that ever passes through the system.
Yay for privacy! Wheres my tinfoil hat!
Yea, now, if it was Hotmail, I would be worried. If it was a company I don't know, I would be worried.
Considering one of the people I work with today was one of the people contracted to set up Google, and still has ties within the company, I'm not worried.
I've had gmail since before anything was on the gmail.com domain.
I know people at Google.
I also know they're not going to do anything that warrants privacy concerns. Unless everyone but the top brass is being lied to.
Do you honestly think that it's possible to hide the sort of transaction that selling e-mails would account to? Gmail is going to be big. Buying all of the emails would cost upwards of 500,000. I can tell you right now, the staff at Google would notice if their company was suddenly half a mil+ richer.
This isn't slashdot. Go troll about privacy there. I'm sure some of the AC will listen.
