To be clear, I'm fine with data mining my emails to find certain features for analytics or data science purposes. But my point is that you, as an individual, should be the gatekeeper to all of your information, private or public. Now, whether or not you choose to cede that right is entirely your prerogative (as in the case of Gmail, where the TOS specifically outlines how your data might be used). However, there should be no doubt that privacy is a fundamental human right, much like property.
