Your logic makes using Antivirus Software Illegal! 2004-06-18
Bart Declercq (1 replies)
You say:

if a computer programmed by people learns the contents of a communication, and takes action based on what it learns, it invades privacy.

By that logic, I'm invading the privacy of everybody who sends me mail by having antivirus software & antispam software on my mailservers...

While I can understand the apprehension against Gmail, blanket statements like this one are not very useful, and the "slippery slope" is a line of arguing that is not considered very powerful in itself...
