EDIT: The Malwarebytes article has been updated:

"After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case."

This confusion could've been easily avoided if Google was more clear in how they communicate with their users.

ORIGINAL:

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 stopped using gmail in 2010 when they used my divorce lawyer’s correspondence to serve me ads for Match.com in the gmail sidebar. What the fuck else does it take you people to quit using this shit?

@bflipp @stefan @User47 I still have mine, but it mostly serves as my spam trap like my Yahoo email account so many years ago.

You should probably delete it. There are cheap services to create unlimited one off emails for every service that you can use to completely eliminate spam from your life forever.
