[extropy-chat] Google Watch

Have a look at this site:
 
http://www.google-watch.org
 
Especially note the article on Gmail toward the top. Maybe Gmail isn't such a good idea for any user due to the privacy risks involved. If Google merged with another company, say, Microsoft -- I know MS's first offer was turned down, but what if tomorrow... -- or was sold, that other entity would have access and distribution rights to any & all email ever sent/recorded on the Google system even if the user had deleted it from his account or closed his account altogether. But that's just the tip of the iceberg.
