Google need to
review their motto and start living by it.
Google ditched their "Don't be evil" motto a long long time ago. Now
it's "what is best for google?". from the market and in such way deny them to other
businesses.
If google became a sentient AI (quite possible)
it's a pretty damn
selfish one.
Of course. It makes trouble to other net users and tries to preserve
itself by hiding complaints. Life would be easier for it if it
actually tried to imitate poorly working spam catcher.
Now imagine that there is no "off switch". It can only be persuaded by
sending email to it, but since nobody knows the address, the only way
is to actually send spammy messages to other people... on gmail...
