Stay Away from Gmail Posted Jul 3, 2005 7:43 UTC (Sun) by danielpf (subscriber, #4723) [Link] This is why all my junk mail is redirected to gmail.
Stay Away from Gmail Posted Jul 5, 2005 2:15 UTC (Tue) by jabby (guest, #2648) [Link] Monitored by whom? Google or the spooks? If you mean Google, are you just raising that old scarecrow about them reading your email to deliver you targeted advertising? If so, any email service can "read" your email as it passes through. I don't know about you, but I don't mind an automated word-matching algorithm scanning my email. I know my email is not secure and I don't put anything secret in it.
Now if you meant that Google is letting the government monitor my email, then that's an entirely different story. I don't believe that they would do that without disclosing it, but then again maybe they're not allowed to... in which case, how would *you* know?
Basically, don't spread rumors like that without some information to back you up.
