Privacy Concerns over Google E-mail accounts

You may want to think twice before signing up for your free [i]GMail[/i] account from [b]Google[/b].

[blockquote]Privacy International, says Gmail violates European privacy laws because it stores messages on its system long after users have deleted them from their mailbox.

The group, which has offices in Britain and the United States, also opposes Google's plans to scan users' e-mail in order to paste appropriate advertising into messages.[/blockquote]

    Yeah, I have enough email addies as is myself, it's the only reason I didn't get a google one when I first heard of this. Now after reading this, I don't want it.. even though I have nothing to worry about either way.
