It's a little different as gmail is useless without search. This is an extension to messaging that nobody was asking for.
Furthermore, email was never secure to begin with. E2E encryption has finally been making its way to devices; this is a major setback for the effort.

- duaneb 10y agoIf you're giving every text message to a third party, it's not e2e encrypted anymore....
- fixermark 10y agoNobody's giving every message to a third party. Just every non-Incognito Allo message. ... unless you're assuming "It's from Google, therefore everybody will be using it next week" or something. And if that happens, maybe people find the ability to have a third party sift their conversation data and integrate it against their other data to solve problems they have to be more useful than anonymity?
- johnward 10y ago"It's a little different as gmail is useless without search." Are you suggesting the reason they read your email is for search? What about the ads they serve on the promotions tab? What about the fact that it can parse my travel plans and add it to my google calendar? There's a lot more than just search going on.
