For example, if we have reason to believe a user is involved in unlawful activities, which creates any risk that the authorities could seize our system, we will review his or her electronic mail for our own protection. We will not, however, monitor electronic mail unless we believe it is being misused. freedomNET will not deliberately disclose electronic mail to other users. If we believe certain electronic mail is connected with unlawful activities, we may disclose it to the authorities to protect our system, ourselves and other users. Remember that the person to whom you send electronic mail does not need to keep it secret. The sender or receiver of the electronic mail has the right to make it public. If the authorities ever search or seize our system, they may gain access to Your private electronic mail. In that case, we cannot assure they will not review it. Remember that you have personal rights of privacy that even the government cannot legally violate, though you may have to go to court to enforce those rights.

20. OUR RELATIONSHIP TO THE INTERNET: The Internet is comprised of millions of computers and computer networks that are interconnected in various ways. freedomNET merely acts as a window into a world, what you see through our window is not under our control. Electronic mail travels from computer to computer in a path that eventually leads to the destination address. We have no control over that message once it has been forwarded to another system for delivery. Accordingly, we have no control over the content of messages posted by users of other computer networks on the Internet. Some users may find the content of some newsgroups or websites to be objectionable. You acknowledge that we are not responsible for the content of messages that You find on the Internet or any access of email on it’s way to it’s destination.
