Google Caving to Pressure on Gmail Privacy and Big Brother Issues

Privacy and Big Brother Issues

Google Caving to Pressure on Gmail
Privacy and Big Brother Issues
04/14/2004 02:32 PM

In the last week there has been a sustained deluge of criticism over Googles new Gmail system. At issue is the proposed electronic reading of third party email (those that do not subscribe to the service or agree with terms of service). The result has been Google mail being blocked already, proposed legislative action in California, and the greatest sustained outcry against Google ever.

Since announcing Gmail two weeks ago, Google Inc. has been forced to defend the planned Web-based e-mail service against accusations that it may violate users' privacy. In the face of the attacks, especially vociferous in Europe, which has strict privacy regulations, Google has begun to express willingness to be flexible about how it offers the service.

This definitely goes under the category of Life on Other Planets. Anyone who thinks that what Google is doing is inherently more evil than what happens at any brick and mortar library must have been watching ‘The Matrix’ a few too many times. The author, Elinor Mills, seems to think that some horrific breach of privacy is involved. No doubt she never visits real libraries, with their card files full of personally identifiable customer lists… Direct and Related Links for 'Privacy issues with Google library search? Not!'

UK Big Brother Awards TONIGHT! Mark
Thomas names and shames privacy-bashers
07/28/2004 05:48 AM
The UK Big Brother Awards -- which present an Orwellian trophy of a boot stepping on a human face forever to egregious governmental and private-sector abusers of privacy -- are being held tonight! Free admission, no need to RSVP, loads of cheap drink, Mark Thomas standup routines, DJs spinning -- your basic techno-activist festival. I'll be there -- hope to see you too!

The event kicks off at the London School of Economics Student Union at 6:30PM, near the Aldwych and Holborn tube. The entrance to the Quad is through the Claire Market Building (Building C) on the right of Houghton Street (Directions, Map)

On July 28th 2004, Privacy International will stage the 6th annual UK Big Brother Awards to recognise the people and organisations that have done the most to devastate privacy & civil liberties in the UK.

Now an annual event in seventeen countries, Privacy International's Big Brother Awards bring together a rich and unique mix of all ideologies and backgrounds. This year, for the first time, the award night will be open to the general public. A space for a thousand people has been reserved at the London School of Economics, which is hosting the event on the night.

EFF guide to Gmail privacy


EFF guide to Gmail privacy 04/15/2004 05:02 PM
Donna sez: "EFF provides a quick and dirty technical work-around for protecting your privacy if you want to use Google's beta Gmail service - only a temporary fix, and there's the rub: Google needs to step up and provide a solution that protects its customers' privacy (and the same goes for other businesses than can link email to search data!)."
For current and prospective Gmail users, we suggest that you start by deleting your existing Google cookies before you use Gmail (and before you enter your real name or existing email address in any Google form). This will help prevent your pre-existing search history from becoming associated with your identity in the future. (Note that it will also cause you to lose any Google preferences you have entered, such as language or adult content preferences.)

I have just read a review of Gmail that highlights some of the concern people are having with the privacy of the service. We all know that they are scanning incoming e-mail to be able to target advertisements at you. But the writer is concerned with legal ramifications of being on Gmail and the possibility of Gmail becoming a one stop shopping center for law enforcement. [Technology Review]
