It seems that Google has stepped into troubled waters with GMail. With privacy concerns rising all over due to Google’s proposal that it will scan all out going eMail messages & place ads in it, relevant to the content, one trouble is ending only to welcome another trouble.
It seems that while the Brits have no problem with GMail scanning outgoing messages & placing ads relevant to the context of the message, the Californians are pretty much irked up on this. And Senator Liz Figueroa, a Democrat from Fremont, California, said that she’s drafting a legislation that will block GMail(with its present stand on scanning outgoing eMails to place context relevant ads) from California.
Seems like Google has its hands fuller than they thought it will be. But I think that they must’ve anticipated this kind of reaction from people & public bodies, after all, they are not a bunch of dunderheads!!
So, all Google can say is that its considering changes in GMail.
