Very few people got upset when email providers started including clauses to let them do this. There was some mild backlash when gmail started automating ad delivery via email content but then people went crazy over the 1GB mailbox and forgot all about it. The lesson being that peoples greed far exceeds any sense of adherence to privacy principles. Google has used that lesson effectively to essentially turn Chrome into a key-logger. If you allow a bomb to be placed in your house its not surprising that once in a while its going to go off. To be harsh, I haven't learnt anything either. I use the ms live crap (only because of office 365) and gmail too.
