PSA to anyone who uses Gmail!

"Reportedly, Google has recently started automatically opting users in to allow Gmail to access all private messages and attachments for training its AI models. This means your emails could be analyzed to improve Google’s AI assistants, like Smart Compose or AI-generated replies. Unless you decide to take action."

I believe Google has already read your email under the guise of fighting spam and malware 😌

Always encrypt your emails with OpenPGP. Also consider setting up a web key directory so that others can seamlessly encrypt emails for you.

@nawanp @stefan It is better to use an encrypted provider such as Proton or Tuta.
