Not a lawyer, but I wonder if Google is on very thin ice here. Federal law about snail mail may not be relevant if someone launches a substantial civil damages suit.
>The very fact that Google thought it worthwhile to do such a thing with personal communication absolutely boggles the mind.
This might have been funny on G's own internal network, kind of. But forcing it on users was astoundingly stupid and tone deaf.
Maybe next year we can have a gif of Eric Schmidt jumping over a shark on water skis.
Surely if you're using software you should be capable of operating it properly? That's probably what might getting people into trouble. If you can't figure out how to send an email properly then you're flagging up to potential employers that you're a bit of a muppet. I'd not want to compound that with a lawsuit which tells potential employers that you're also a humourless cretin.
