Security and Privacy of Confidential Information in Email Accounts

Yesterday I read an article online about a internet privacy case in Canada. It said that Google been ordered by the Canadian Courts to give the identity of two Gmail users and they had complied. The article also suggests that all our email contents can be obtained by Government or a suing party by a court order very easily if they want... It also said the email the anonymity and the things we think belong to us like our email address are all a myth. We don’t really own them. That’s fine. We don’t really own our email accounts and usernames, even though that too is worrisome. But what about the confidential information in our email accounts that can be exposed and privacy breached and cause damage to us financially and in other ways?

If someone sues us or a government want to get at our details it’s it’s very easy for them to get all the details they want about us from our email address. If they want they can get all our mail chat records, the emails and other attachments we have sent through email accounts. This is a serious breach of internet privacy… Do we really have any privacy on the Internet.. I think not. If we use a mail account or any other email account for sometime we our bound to use it for many private things that we don’t want anyone to know like chatting with friends and sending our personal details like CVs and other kind of letters to companies, clients, sometimes saving confidential information of our other Internet dealing like on EBay, Paypal, other internet account usernames and passwords etc. If a court orders Google to open up a account to Government or another party then all our confidential information like the ones I mentioned will be compromised. The people who inspect our accounts whether Government Officials or the other suing party can’t be guaranteed to be honest and discreet about our sometimes most confidential information that they might find in our email accounts.

This is very serious. Just because someone sues they can’t be given our whole email or other account opened up. There should be a line drawn somewhere. If it is a genuine case, the government or someone else want some details all the details of the account holder mustn’t be given away. Instead only what is required and relevant must be disclosed…

A 30 Day Blog Marathon Experiment

Hi,
I'm going to do a 30 day blog marathon using this blog. I'll be writing one blog post each day for the next 30 days inshallah. They will be unedited posts and article and comprise of atleast 300 words each. I want to improve my writing, get into the writing habit and let my thoughts flow through my fingers without any hesitation. I have heard just typing everyday without thinking what you are typing will improve your writing skills. That is a sound advice. It's the inspiration for my 30 day blog marathon too.

Also I hope to have a blog with 30 solid and unique blog posts at the end of this experiment. That way I will also have a good blog I can use for my internet marketing campaigns as well.

Lets see now, how many words have I typed now... Maybe 150... another same amount to go. What am I going to write... Am I into what they call a writers block? hmmm.. maybe but must keep going... Wait a bit.. I'll copy this into MS Word and see how many words I've typed so far.. If it is 300 I can stop :)

Oh no... I checked how many words I have typed so far.. The word count was only 198... what else to write? About my job, my life, the BSc degree final year I'm currently doing, the miseries of my life, my religious works..., internet marketing work I'm doing (i'm actually not doing, thinking of doing rather... everyday day dreaming when about earning that magical thousand dollar google cheque per month) well all this and more hope to blog in this very blog....

Now how many words have I written? Probably 225 or somewhere around that... Is it so difficult to come up with a 300 word post? No, I don't think so... I've already written this post just off my mind straight to the blogspot blog via my god gifted fingers and keyboard in less than 10 minutes.. That's not hard work at all. But what about a good solid article on a perticular subject matter? That takes some work. But some people just go on writing...good very interesting posts just off their minds just like I typed this post without thinking much..

I think that needs born talent and a lot of practice. I can't blame anyone. My mother and teachers told me so many times to do more essay writing in school. This is the price I pay for not listening to them.. Anyway, It's not late. I heard about a great writer who use to write 8 or was it 80 pages everyday for 5 or 10 years before he got his first article published in a newspaper.

Wow, now I checked how many word's I've typed... it was a whooping 498... What can't you achieve in 10 minutes if you go like this...
