Please don't be rude.

And what you're linking to is NOT what you described, "in order to provide more targeted advertisements".

Your links are describing Gemini integration. If you ask Gemini a question about your e-mails, obviously it needs to look at them. If Google is suggesting a smart reply, obviously it needs to process your e-mail to do so. But these are features designed to benefit the user.

You were talking about target advertising. That's not what your links have anything to do with.

[0]: "Google publicly announced in 2017 it would stop using Gmail content for ad targeting but continued to scan emails for spam, malware, and other non-ad functionality, which leaves room for ambiguity about downstream uses of metadata or other signals"

Who cares why Google is reading your emails? Not me.

Oh, it's just for non-ad functionality? In that case, go right ahead!

Ugh!

You're upset Gmail blocks spam and malware?
