- wand3r 9y agoMan I am super sorry my basic privacy are getting in the way of your marketing effort. Edit: removed "rights"
- dragonwriter 9y agoTo be fair, your “basic privacy rights” have nothing to do with this, it's about simplifying Google's efforts to sell services (which weren't actually effected by this anyway, but perception is a different thing than reality) to enterprise customers.
- robotresearcher 9y agoGoogle can't read your post office mail. It can't read your Yahoo mail. But you certainly have no right that says it can't read your Gmail mail. You're confusing a want with a right.
- criddell 9y agoI didn't think there were any ads in their business email.
- greglindahl 9y agoThis is referring to whether you see ads for hemorrhoid medication all over the Internets after talking about them in an email.

- cm2012 9y agoThere isn't, but most business folks use free gmail for their usual accounts.
- openplatypus 9y ago> most business folks You have no idea how wrong you are.
- cm2012 9y agoNonetheless, Gmail ads are great for B2B advertising at scale.
- dragonwriter 9y agoThey aren't stopping Gmail ads, they are just stopping using Gmail content as an input signal for ad personalization.
- cm2012 9y agoThat's what makes them effective though. Otherwise its the same as any other GDN site.
- bjl 9y agoGood. Anything that makes life harder for you is a win for me.
- B1FF_PSUVM 9y agoAdvertising spend should be taxed at 100% (or 500%, whatever), just for the damage it does. Of course it is not. We're ruled by advertisers.
