What's stopping MS from reading your hotmails?
What's stopping your ISP from reading your internet traffic (incl. password sends (like POP3 logins) over an insecure connection).
What's stopping the admins here from tampering with your account?
And I can go on and on and on like a duracell bunny on steroids.

Microsoft: laws/EULA?
ISP: laws?
Admins on these forums: nothing?

You're not making a big point, even if you base it all on goodwill of the provider. When highly personal information is stored in the hands of someone else, it makes perfect sense to set out every inch of doubt available. It's your personal information.

I don't see any reason why wanting a good reason as to what is in place for making sure his data stays private - regardless of "why anyone would be interested in reading it in the first place" ideas.

I do agree that if they have a system that works in an X manner and he doesn't like it, he should stop moaning about it. However, wanting clarity in how your own personal data is handled makes perfect sense if you look at Chrissy as a customer/client, instead of as someone who's just moaning about how horrible Plus! is.
