I don't think they do too much storing of email details, they know that it's a sensitive area and that an employee will eventually blow the whistle and it will hurt user trust, which is a big part of their business.
- frik 12y agoI meant it the other direction. 1) Alice sends an email to Bob (GMail user). 2) Bob receives the email, meanwhile Google scrapes the content and extracts its meaning to show Bob some ads and use the facts to improve Google's A.I. Alice wants a way to mark her email content as "no index". So that email service provider don't crawl through the content. Exactly like the robots.txt for domains or the "noindex" metatag in HTML head element!
- lern_too_spel 12y agoWhy should Alice get to restrict what Bob can do with his inbox?
- frik 12y agoIt's not about Bob, he can do what he want. It's about the email service provider, that should stop analyze the email text to extract its meaning. Gmail uses it to display ads to Bob, builds a shadow profile for Alice (like Facebook) and trains an artificial intelligence (see headline link).
