Eh, sort of. They released a statement to give that impression but the wording was fairly weasely. They likely stopped using email content for directly targeting ads in Gmail, but there's almost no chance email content isn't being used to target people in other contexts.
- dpark 5y agoWhy is there “almost no chance”? They said they won’t email for advertising purposes. There wasn’t much wiggle room with the way they phrased it. It’s possible that they outright lied, I guess. “Consumer Gmail content will not be used or scanned for any ads personalization after this change” https://blog.google/products/gmail/g-suite-gains-traction-in-the-enterprise-g-suites-gmail-and-consumer-gmail-to-more-closely-align/ https://blog.google/products/gmail/g-suite-gains-traction-in...
