The EFF link is much better than the TC one: http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2008/07/court-ruling-will-expose-viewing-habits-youtube-us# http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2008/07/court-ruling-will-expos... "Google correctly argued that “the data should not be disclosed because of the users’ privacy concerns,” citing the VPPA, 18 U.S.C. § 2710. However, the Court dismissed this argument with no analysis, stating “defendants cite no authority barring them from disclosing such information in civil discovery proceedings, and their privacy concerns are speculative."" Anyone disagree that this is a good reason to stop using Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo Mail/Google Docs/etc?

Anyone disagree that this is a good reason to stop using Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo Mail/Google Docs/etc? It's a good reason to remember that you don't have any privacy when using other people's servers.

The problem is with the law and the legal system. Not using Gmail, etc won't fix that problem. If you think your home computer is somehow safe, you are wrong.
