Google: We would never use your Gmail to target ads. Also Google: If you voluntarily pour your Gmail into our AI blender, whatever comes out may help target ads. Technically, we’re not reading your diary. We’re just selling billboards next to the therapist’s summary of it. Privacy by wordplay is still surveillance with better PR.
Also the features you always used to use are now part of our AI system and continuing to use them counts as voluntarily agreeing to the new terms.
Makes me sick. We no longer have any right to privacy and they have no respect for ours. The entire digital landscape is becoming a liability.
