If Google builds a database of keywords associated with email
addresses, the potential for abuse is staggering. Google could grow
a database that spits out the email addresses of those who used
those keywords. How about words such as "box cutters" in the same
email as "airline schedules"? Can you think of anyone who might be
interested in obtaining a list of email addresses for that
particular combination? Or how about "mp3" with "download"?
Since the RIAA has sent subpoenas to Internet service providers
and universities in an effort to identify copyright abusers, why
should we expect Gmail to be off-limits?
