Google's Gmail May Face Legal Opposition
Source Ireland Online:" Google's planned free email, set up as a rival to Microsoft's Hotmail and to Yahoo!, may be facing strong legal opposition after a Calfornian state senator said she was drafting legislation to block the Gmail service. Democratic Senator Liz Figueroa has said that Gmail is 'an invasion of privacy', referring to Google's plan to make revenue from users agreeing to their incoming email being scanned for targeted advertising. Google is being asked to rethink the product, which plans to offer 100 times the storage offered by some rivals."

Have the waves of love for Google suddenly soured?
