I've seen the reverse, Gmail suggesting additonal people I may want to include, although I don't think that's based on the message body. I personally wouldn't want more server-side content scanning, nor would I want the bloat of it running in my browser.
- eternityforest 3y agoI wonder if they avoid this specifically because it would make it immediately obvious how much they are able to scan, rather than ad targeting, which just gives a vague sense that they know everything but not in sharp focus like that. I personally care far less about what Google can see than about what I might accidentally send, it hasn't happened to me, but it could be bad to send a work email to a random person, someone could even be fired if there was a trade secret. But I can see it upsetting more privacy minded consumers if it wasn't done very carefully, with a big annoying "This was generated in your browser and we do not scan message content" notice.
