I'm wondering why outlook is a 'government-mandated' app. It's hard to see the difference between an email generated by outlook or another email app. Why force people to use an app, while there are plenty of different compatible apps available?
Don't worry... The free ISP's can always sell personal information to other companies. It seems that many companies are interested in people's surfing behaviour. This already happens in the Netherlands.
I couldn't find it in the article, but most probably the oxygen detected in the spectrum was atomic oxygen. O2-molecules can't exist in the atmophere of a planet so close to a star, because the strong ultra-violet radiation will rip the molecules apart.
On top of that: atomic oxygen is easy to detect in a visible-light spectrum. For O2-molecules you have to look in at infra red spectra.
Searching for human-like extraterrestials on this planet is a Bad Idea(tm). For human like life you need a surface to live on, oceans full of liquid water, etc..., etc... You won't find that sort of things on a planet like this one.
