what about spam filters? 2004-06-21

"Simply put, if a computer programmed by people learns the contents of a communication, and takes action based on what it learns, it invades privacy."
- unfortunately this is what spam filters do. they look into the contents of a message, rank it, and can perform different actions based on this rank.
While i do understand the point of the article, it just shows that law and common sense are often far apart.
