The ramifications from the decision have now taken effect late last week, according to a report by German newssite Golem.de, when Gmail users, who were trying to log on to their email accounts in Germany, were greeted with a message in which Google explains that it can no longer provide access to their email accounts when accessed from Germany. According to the report Google further asked its users to access their account by copy pasting the URL http://mail.google.com/ into their browsers when travelling to Germany as, according to Golem.de, Google is also not allowed to hyperlink its URL.
