Now of course, any politician would also look out for the needs of the people, and by banning Gmail, no one has to fear privacy concerns of a service that isn't even available.

Hmmm. Maybe it was just 'swing'. I'm at work right now so I'm not about to try it again until I get home.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9960204 Tue, 13 Apr 2004 14:59:16 EDT Re: GMail http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9959913 furlonium :

Why am I not the least bit surprised that this came from California, the biggest anti-business state in the U.S.?

On a side note, I hope Gmail is not like Google's search engine with the targeted advertising. I did a search for 'swings' to find a swing for my son's swingset and the targeted advertising I was given was of the "Meet Adult Swingers In Your Area!" and "Swingers XXX" kind. Yech.

You are suggesting that users are not intelligent enough to make their own decisions about Gmail, so they should turn regulation of it over to the government?

I know! Ever since the New Deal more and more Americans are more than happy to look towards the government to solve their perceived "problems." This state senator's actions are just an extension of that.

The real scare is that there is such a large population ready to accept becoming mindless automatons with no sense of privacy. Orwellian indoctrination is about complete and irrevocable.

Next phase is to churn out genetically engineered zombies that will automatically obey the corporate-state thru satellite signals.

Cal State Senator Moves to Block Google's GMail:
California state Senator Liz Figueroa says she is drafting legislation to block Google Inc.'s free e-mail service "Gmail" because it would place advertising in personal messages after searching them for key words. This comes in addition to European groups recently lodging a complaint with UK authorities, charging that Gmail may violate Europe's privacy laws because it stores messages where users cannot permanently delete them.
