Except for the fact that they have the most users of
any web service. And if the other webservices do
provide datamining to the Feds without a warrant, they
are breaking the _law_.

I sure wouldn't love that.

Because they are asking for Gmail users to suspend
their rights to privacy, so that a warrant or subpeona
is not needed.

Only stupid terrorists would use a public medium
without (very) strong encryption. What the Feds are
doing is monitoring aggregate public opinion and

disclaimer _mean_ anything to you? Welcome to Amerika.
And to any Feds reading this, screw you. I didn't
defend this country against the Soviet Union to watch
it become the Soviet Union.
