How would you feel if someone came to your mailbox, opened your mail, read it, put it back, then put advertising in your box based on what they saw? Total baloney, but google & others scrape your e-mail just the same. Strangely, one is a felony and the other has just been allowed without restriction.
Facebook is the next big intruder, moving at the speed of Zuckerface, and society just accepts it. I find the acceptance of the intrusions as really weird.
