iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 31, 2004 no email is really securejust like cellphonesand most landlines nowironic that snail mail is more secureand a private corp like FedEx is probably more secure than the Post OfficeI just treat email and any electronic comm as I would posting something on my sites. If I can't say it in public, best not to say it at all - unless I can afford $$$ for major corp electronic security, which I of course can't - even then major industrial and corp espionage groups exist to break corp security for competitive advantage. We might want to try to enforce the concept of privacy but unless we can pay big time for it - we can't. Sad but true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 31, 2004 I think you're missing the point. It's the concept of Gmail itself that could be a problem, not so much now as in the future, but it means you have to be careful how you use it already now. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 31, 2004 Thanks Sandman, I've read the article. But I don't think I'm missing the point. Actual and potential corp abuse is all around us, and yes we need to be careful now and in the future but we made a pact with the devil - and everyone pays now. This screen, our sites, our conversations are all part of the advantages we want but they are also part of the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This screen, our sites, our conversations are all part of the advantages we want but they are also part of the price. Don't get me wrong. I completely agree. What you say is all true, but I feel that the Gmail has the potential to become a much bigger problem. If you let your email account lapse the information will deleted, or at least there is no concerted efford to collect the information from all your email accounts and consolidate it. That appears to be what google tries to do. Provide you with a mailbox, big enough so you never need another one, and all the emails you ever send and receive will be stored in their database for eternity. Imagine: 30 years from now, the government accuse you of being a murderer or terrorist or hacker or whatever!!! They don't have any proof but it wouldn't be to difficult to get a warrant to check your Gmail account and all the old emails you didn't even remember you wrote, suddenly comes back to haunt you. You may never have written anything you shouldn't, but it would still be easy for them to find emails that "prove" that you already 30 years ago, had a bad "character", thus conciderably weaken you defence. Or maybe, when you are gone, it could be used against you children "see, even their father was evil". It is the staggering scale for potential abuse, in the future. that worries me and as time wear on the potential for abuse skyrockets. I dont really care about the gmail thing but if u guy dont trust gmail get http://www.walla.co.il/ has 1 gig of email space too I dont need a 1gb mail account, I just want to check it out for my self. Since I don't have one, I rely on third party info to keep me orientated! I'm very happy with gmail and feels comfortable when using it... And we have all been teenagers. 'Who cares about tomorrow I wanna live today'. That tends to change once you get children yourself and start ponder what tomorrow will look like for those kids. But thats too late - unfortunately!
