said by Mele20:Why is everyone upset? Google mail has been doing exactly the same thing since day one and there was no roar of protest. Several years later when another email provider decides to do the same thing there is a storm of protest? That doesn't make sense.
Why everyone is upset? May be because those people value their privacy, don't they...
And BTW, let me remind you - there was roar of protest and people (as I remember, including you) got upset about Google starting scanning emails.
said by Mele20:where the hell was StartPage when Google pulled the same crap? It is ok for Google to do it but not Yahoo? Talk about inconsistency and hypocrisy. Geez...
You don't know what you actually want, do you? If you want to keep the bits of privacy left at this point, you'd thank StartPage. Instead you bash them ... for inconsistency. Do you have one?
