Yahoo Mail
Yahoo Mail provides the choices for the register to choose the specified region for their Yahoo sites. For example, if you are located in Hong Kong SAR, you are able to choose this option to immediately modify your Yahoo IP to the Hong Kong IP. Hotmail does not provide this option.
Hotmail
Hotmail, possibly embodied the service for providing business information for users, provides a checkbox for the register to choose whether they have the intention to receive the information by checking “I won or work with a small business”. Additionally, the time zone is required to choose according to the register’s situation. If you are in the biggest country such as U.S. or Japan, you have also to provide for Hotmail what county or state you are located, while Yahoo Mail does not.
Brief Conclusion
Both Hotmail and Yahoo Mail require registers to provide some privatized information including birth date, gender, first name and last name, etc. Similarly to Lavalife, although the register is not necessary to faithfully fill in the information to reflect their truth identity for convinience or making friends, this does constitute the grounds for the mail service provider to make use of the information in order to have their usage, possibly not in the willingness of the user. But the user does not have choice to choose because once they desire to have access to the service, they have to firstly click the button to agree all the terms or conditions presumed by the service provider. Once the user uses the mail service for serious intention such as business interaction with clients or partners, all the parties within this user’s circle will be influenced by, for instance, e-mail forwarding, virus, advertisements, etc., but at the same time, the information provided should not be untrue. Indeed, no protecting mechanism is now workable for this situation to avoid any kind of disturbance unexpected by the user.
