Senator Tries to Block GMail
04/23/2004 09:33 AMLegislator seeks to block Gmail: I don't agree with the
senator's logic here. Like I've said before, GMail is essentially a big bribe. In
exchange for 1GB of storage, you give up some privacy. So long as
people understand that going in, where's the harm? You won't catch me
doing it, but other people are willing to live with the creepiness for
that much space. I say good for them.
Blasting Gmail as a horrific intrusion into Internet users'
privacy, a California state senator has introduced legislation to
block Google's free e-mail service.
State Sen. Liz Figueroa, a Democrat from the Bay Area city of
Fremont, said Thursday that it should be illegal for a company to scan
the text of its customers' e-mail correspondence and display relevant
advertising--even if customers explicitly agree to the practice in
exchange for a gigabyte of storage.

04/22/2004 06:52 PMFollowing up on
already
announced intentions (and apparently ignoring everyone who
explained why this is a terrible, terrible idea), California Senator
Liz Figueroa has
introduced a bill
to ban Gmail saying that - even though Google is upfront about
scanning emails to offer contextual advertising and it's a choice of
the user - it should be illegal. Her complaint is that Google will
use email contents as a "direct marketing opportunity." I hadn't
realized that there was anything illegal about direct marketing. If
we're going to go after direct marketers there are an awful lot of
direct marketing practices that I would target before a perfectly
useful, perfectly upfront company's email client.

California, the Gambling State
California, the Gambling State
08/29/2004 10:53 PM(This is also my Sund
ay column in the San Jose
Mercury News.)
A classic example of audacity is the man who kills his parents and
asks for clemency on the grounds that he's an orphan. A few weeks ago,
a California gambler who lost a bundle online joined a lawsuit against
search engines that sell advertising for Internet gambling sites.
The case, filed in state court in San Francisco, is just one example
of our society's utterly inconsistent and hypocritical treatment of
gambling. We love it, we hate it, we use it, and we are being wounded
by it.
I would never suggest banning it. Yet I'm puzzled by people who gamble
online or offline, because they're usually working against stacked
odds. Over time, they're likely to lose. Still, we allow many
potentially harmful activities, on the principle that freedom means
the freedom to make mistakes.
