i love my gmail accounts, and so do many of us here on CD, but here is a website made by some people who don't think as highly of it as i do.
http://www.google-watch.org/gmail.html
according to them, gmail archives all our mail permanantly and has programs that pick out keywords, gathering information about us. they say some of the messages are examined, and possibly sent to the government when they contain certain words, such as having "boxcutter" and "airplane" in the same message. it is even used to find people who make illegal downloads.
what do you think? good security or security gap?
