This service shouldn't exist. It breaks the very concept of email security. They're marketing it as though it's safe. Want hyperbole? Imagine Bayer marketing heroin as safe because you know, it's opt-in.
- ryguytilidie 13y agoWant hyperbole? Compare an opt in social network to heroin.
- jlgreco 13y agoWhy the hell not? Heroin from Bayer would not have the quality control issues Heroin typically has. It only becomes problematic when you consider that the user is getting themselves into a situation that they do not fully understand and potentially cannot easily back themselves out of. With drugs that have a high potential to cause harm, we typically force the consumer to consult a professional before allowing them to proceed. Tech is still in the era of patent medicines.
- iuguy 13y agoI specifically used the example of Heroin as Bayer marketed it as a non-addictive alternative to morphine, proclaiming it safe.

- davea37 13y ago> It breaks the very concept of email security. There's no such thing. Email breaks the concept of email security.
- gurkendoktor 13y agoI understand the opinion, but I don't understand the sudden outrage. LI, Google and Facebook have always wanted your third-party email credentials for Friend Finder-style features. The only difference is that this time we cannot even hope that they delete them after logging in once. Security-wise, it's all the same.
- moocowduckquack 13y agoNot that hard to imagine really given Bayer did market heroin as safe. Is very good for coughs, apparently.
- iuguy 13y agoI think that's the lost point on some of the reactions.
