It makes no sense to me at all to use TOR to access
a service nominated (and shortlisted) over and over
for Privacy International's "Big Brother" Awards:

I think 2005 was the third time Gmail was shorlisted?

I don't know how much of http://www.google-watch.org/
is quackery, kookism, or paranoia, but if even a
fraction of it is true, there are some scary abuses
already possible and more waiting to happen.
