The question is, how would can they survive after it's made clear that they're reading people's e-mails or private messages over a fb.com...?

The fact that they own the server that stores my data doesn't bother me. Other than that...

My posted link gave you a 404?
No, your forum link in your profile...
Oh ... ooops!  :blush: I have rectified that small matter  :).

In many respects I agree with your critique of our portal, it is a bit "busy" but it is what the site owner wants. I thought the slow scrolling display of (Aeva) gallery items is a little less boring than simply a stic display of 3 or 4 pictures.
It displays 20 pics as the header says, and since it's so slow to scroll, no one will ever wait to see the 20th, thus making it a waste of your server resources to both generate the thumbnail and send it to the browser...
Well it started out as a static display of 6 thumbnails in a full width block but the owner didn't like it and asked me to come up with a different idea. Yes the scroll speed is possibly a little slow even though I spent quite some time adjusting it for the best look. Any faster and blurring can occur. I also had to take into account that not all browsers can scroll the block horizontally - webkit ones can't for some reason - so I had to make changes to allow for vertical scroll which is how Chrome et al display that block.

Google doesn't read gmail e-mails apart from computing/analyzing contents to provide targeted advertisements... (Can live with that -- a single line of text...)
That's what they tell you. Given their other activities, eg all the wi-fi slurping that went on with Street View, I'm not sure I believe a word of it.

@markham: I have never observed any issues with Webkit being unable to scroll horizontally in any fashion you throw at it.

I've read that both the British and Irish governments are to reopen their respective inquiries into what exactly Google's cars did eavesdrop on and what happened to all that data that they weren't supposed to be collecting.

Oh it does scroll horizontally but the problem I found was that the items were not constrained within the display area. But it works and the owner is happy, so I'm not going to spend any more time trying to fix it[1]
