Ugh... that's a bit much... because now any employee at google could potentially get access to random facts about me gleaned from my personal and business emails? Good luck keeping different levels of confidential information segregated correctly. That's awesome.

- dave_sullivan 12y agoSure, I'm aware, but this is different. Collecting anonymous statistics about its users does not include automatically generating a database indexed by individual based on their private data. One is par for course when selling bundles of users according to demographic to advertisers while the other is fucking crazy. Mining public web data for building a database like that is one thing, but mining individual private data like this is crossing a line.
