Taking the high road, I see.

I actually think this issue is very complex, which is why my knee-jerk reaction is not to worry about my own privacy, nor to side with the majority in this particular forum. You are jumping to conclusions about my statement, and calling me out for being close-minded. The irony, it stinks.

Even more awesome would be seeing some vaginas!

Or maybe that I'm actually being critical of the status quo, since like you said, literally everyone else is questioning me.

Oh come on, you know that's not the same thing. Anyway, I have Total Analog Personal Encryption (TAPE) enabled.

I never said I was okay with the government searching my emails. I said I don't care if Google has a policy to release information relating to child pornography to the government. My Inbox is not my home.

Baaaaaaaaaa

I've worked at independent coffee shops, and we would get customers like that every so often. Usually you can tell by the look on their face as they look over the menu, that they don't know what to ask for. That's what your job is...to figure out what they might have in mind and suggest something. A safe bet is…

I've read both, twice. I comprehend what those who disagree with me are trying to say. I simply do not agree, and while I do see how one might jump to the conclusion "ORWELLIAN DYSTOPIA!!!", I do not think it is very logical.

So shoot me for saying so.

Last I heard, Google is banned in China. I think what many people don't think about is that every time you send an email, it has the potential to be read by the email provider. There is no such thing as completely private online communication.

Fully aware of this. Comparing a persecutive regime to a child porn investigation does not quite draw a parallel for me, however.

Yes. It would.

Firstly, this isn't a government program. It's Google, and if they flag messages that contain pedophilia, and report it to government authorities, that's their prerogative. If someone wants to email about child porn, they can find another email provider.

Please elaborate.

Then I'd be arrested for something I believed in, but that I know isn't wrong.

Unless she's screened from the interview stage

I don't even care. My personal privacy is nothing compared to protecting a child. Most of my emails are related to career, family and a few kind of personal health related things. But I know I've got nothing criminal to hide, so it really doesn't bother me.

I guess I must have missed the part where you mentioned the government's responsibility to regulate and protect, or the couple's responsibility in anything.

Um. Hey, the problem is that this isn't regulated and occurring because wealthy countries are taking advantage of desperate women in poorer ones. How can you place the responsibility on impoverished women? That's messed up.
