Hallo allemaal,
Nee ik wil niet de party pooper zijn die het feestje probeert te bederven van een nieuw fenomeen op het net genaamd GMAIL. Maar er blijkt toch wel het een en ander niet helemaal pluis te zijn aan GMAIL. Helemaal als je deze site moet geloven: http://gmail-is-too-creepy.com/
Dit stukje is bijvoorbeeld op de site te vinden. "If Google builds a database of keywords associated with email addresses, the potential for abuse is staggering. Google could grow a database that spits out the email addresses of those who used those keywords. How about words such as "box cutters" in the same email as "airline schedules"? Can you think of anyone who might be interested in obtaining a list of email addresses for that particular combination? Or how about "mp3" with "download"? Since the RIAA has sent subpoenas to Internet service providers and universities in an effort to identify copyright abusers, why should we expect Gmail to be off-limits? "
of dit
Evil update: On July 1, 2004, Google modified their main privacy policy to comply with a new California law. Here is the zinger: "If you have an account, we may share the information submitted under your account among all of our services in order to provide you with a seamless experience and to improve the quality of our services." te vinden hier http://www.gmail-is-too-creepy.com/gcook.html
