You mentioned would be "irresponsible to do that on private data" but Google it seems were doing that, until at least 2017. Or I am incorrect about it?

The person you are responding to spoke assertively and quoted Google websites, but I don't think they work or worked for Google.

Thanks. I will rephrase my comment.

> it would be irresponsible to do that on private data.

If they do it on searches not meant for publication then are they irresponsible?

We have no evidence either way. And referring to someone who's weirdly in favor of a multi billion dollar corporate opposed to the rights of individuals at least an agent of that group seems appropriate verbage

People want spam filtering, so of course they will read your emails.
