Anonymous and Wikileaks might get ahold of Google’s entire email database and start publishing stuff.
Speaking of which ... is there any tool to swipe clean an Gmail inbox? Due to to the recent changes I finally got ready to switch over to my old pop3s. I plan on slowly fading out my Gmal account, so I would start by deleting all the past mails, etc. Any recommended way to do this?

It appears that you need to have deleted your data already, and then contacted Google and asked to have it permanently deleted. There's an online form and everything.... I vaguely remember that when people complained about Facebook, they were forced to ensure that data had been deleted.
- prg318 14y agoThanks for the info! I was unaware of that. I live in the US; I wonder if there is similar jurisdiction here.
