It's about time! I wonder if this is due to the fact that if email encryption becomes common, the content will be inaccessible to Google anyway.

- eli 9y agoI doubt it. That's a pretty big "if".
- Spivak 9y agoIf they're not using it for ads, there's a good chance that it's in Google's best interest to not know the contents of people's email. It lessens the impact of a potential breach, and it greatly simplifies their responses to gov't requests to 'we have no method to access this data, you must contact the account holder directly'.

- sigjuice 9y agoHow many people have you seen who exchange encrypted email on a regular basis (or even at all)?
