Google: the ultimate spam machine
GMail is running into more trouble. Not only are their privacy concerns with their plan to read everyone's e-mail, the plan to append "targeted" ads apparently may fly in the face of many of the anti-spam laws passed recently. Australia certainly thinks so. California is also complaining. I understand how it would be a violation when a third party appends ads without your expressed consent to the product or content. I wonder if the users had more control over the ads if it would be less legally offensive?

I think that when a user agrees with a free e-mail account he must take the adds with it.
That`s why it is free and the company who delivers the free service want to earn some money to for making the systems better.
