Don't know if this makes sense, but if you try sending an email on gmail, with the word "attached" in your email body, gmail will always hold on sending and propose that you consider whether you want to attach a file. This seems a bit unsettling, does this mean email providers actually peruse the content of the emails prior / during sending?

I know we agree to terms, but doesn't it go against privacy policies?

Did you really "agree" to the terms? I think we need to define "agree". You cannot "agree" with something that you've not understood. So when you clicked "Yes" on the T&Cs, you actually gave a blanket consent to everything, including those that you don't agree with :-)

From where I sit, the only privacy I think people remain with is that of their passwords - so far. Everything after you've authenticated is not private.
