i'm predicting the bill will fail. most consumers would trade a little privacy for 1GB of storage for their mail. what is the problem with presenting me with advertisements? it's not spam, it's tailored to the context of my emails, and no human reads it. i can hardly see the problem. after all, every time you send an email out, bits and pieces of it get stored all over the internet on hundreds of servers. the senator does not seem to appreciate that gmail is no worse than normal email when it comes to privacy.
still, the bill is important to keep companies on the line. in my view though, google has made a wonderful compromise.
