It would be a trivial task to run a background script to access a few thousand websites and send a couple of thousand emails per day to valid but mostly non-existent email addresses.
For those with uncapped accounts, this would be the tip of the iceberg.

We need to get most if not ALL of our privacy back. We are now in George Orwell's 1984, just 25 years later than he predicted, but we are monitored everywhere.

In this case he was let off but he could have been prosecuted and labeled a sex offender.
So you can see in 5 years they may turn up at your house as you sent an email 5 years ago.
Take an email out of context and lord know what happens. If your a gamer you could email someone saying you are going to blow them up tonight(meaning in a on line game) they could think all sorts and lock you up as a bomber

I'm going to ask the post office to steam open all my incoming mail and keep records of all the people I receive mail from.
They can use the envelope to record any destination addresses.
They are welcome to record dates, times and phone numbers of all phone calls.
Same thing with all my web traffic - including secure web access.
This kind of traffic analysis can only be blocked by filling input-output channels with maximal traffic to random locations.
So I suppose I'll have to get one of these "unlimited" accounts and max it out with mostly rubbish traffic.

We need to get most if not ALL of our privacy back, and get out of George Orwell's 1984 state.
For anyone wanting to issue a DPA section 11 notice to a telco or mobile telco, the wizard is Here.
And if you want to tell your MP that on reflection, you want the right to private communication protected go Here to write to your MP.

Quote from: pierre_pierre I wish people would get there facts correct before spouting out http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7985339.stm
As far as I can tell, the correct facts involve the building of massive databases of information suitable for traffic analysis.

Just send in a form which is not easily readable.
Sending all the details as an attachment such as a WP document (not even encrypted) would impose an intolerable load on any search feature.
