- Government intervention in daily life
-
Let's pretend that I am an informed user in Germany, who, after reading the terms of Google's email service decide to go ahead and sign up for the service. I know full well that Google will use the information as has been stated in various news articles, but I feel that is a small price to pay for the benefits of 1GB of online storage. Now, the German government comes along and says no, I don't have the right to make such a decision. It is basically protecting me from myself.
I don't know about you, but I don't want the government making such decisions for me.
The fact is that I live in USA, but I would choose NOT use the Google service because of its terms of use. But, I should be the one to make that decision, not my government. This kind of government intrusion into everyday decision making is unwarranted, unnecessary, and unwanted. - Posted by: vferrara Posted on: 04/05/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
