Jesse Browns’ blog evaluates the technology world. He shares valuable insight into market trends as well as: new innovations, company outlooks, forecasts, and better informs the reader of the importance of technology. He evaluates each topic with great detail in a concise way; keeping you interested and reading. For example, in one article he explains how Gmail could be breaking the law. He describes the recent Google court case over Gmail which has been accused of what would seem to be wiretapping. In other words, Gmail is able to intercept not only the web traffic from its users but as well as non-users who send mail to those who do use Gmail. The US federal court recently ruled this illegal. Mr. Brown begins by saying that internet companies are becoming increasingly less ethical as they use ‘dodgy’ legalese to protect themselves. Mr. Brown argues that “Internet users need new policies and protections around the services we enjoy.” He has a point. The law hasn’t adapted to the rapidly changing technology world and thus the hundreds of millions of users are constantly at risk. However, in this era, most things are intercepted and processed, and by limiting Gmail to process its mail the federal court would have to justify through further regulating the internet, which doesn’t seem to be an option. Overall, Jesse Brown’s writing about Gmail offers valuable insight and puts forth a valid argument.
