Are you outraged about ads in your email?

Hope you saw the notice that AT&T will now put advertising IN YOUR EMAIL MESSAGES. The ads will show to the receiver of your email. This is like opening the paper envelopes in your mailbox and inserting their ads before you open your mail.

I am OUTRAGED about this.

Where will this go next, in the name of making more revenue? Imagine if they interrupted your conversation on the telephone and played an advertisement during your conversation!

This is an invasion of privacy and violates laws that say that the carrier of the message is not permitted to change the content.

Are you outraged?
