I for one have never quite understood the whole argument with how gmail "reads" people's emails. Yes.. it does get a little spooky at times. But how much more spookier is it than Google (or for that matter any other search engine) keeping track of what you search for? Fact is, privacy is non-existent and the onus is on the end user to protect it.
- paul 19y agoThe closer analogy is actually spam filtering -- it's a very similar process (computers processes message content in order to classify it). The computer is processing and storing the data anyways, so there is no impact on privacy (eliminating spam filtering or ads won't improve your privacy in any way).
