Privacy and Email Providers
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? -- Regards, Francis Gesora.
It's textual analysis, what most search engines already have that we see as search suggestions. And MS Outlook does the same, it's hardly a privacy issue. And as for email providers, last I heard, using Google's public services- Gmail, Plus, Drive, Search, Maps, YouTube, Play- means that data you input is theirs too. I could be wrong though.

In general, 'privacy' is becoming a nostalgic English word in dictionaries....like fax or callbox. If you use internet or a smart phone at all, there are at least 5 guys who can know everything about you that you consider 'private'. Including where you are now, who is nearest, your consanguinity, other relationships.... and even more spooky....where you plan to be and do this weekend. Search for 'google pizza' for introduction into the future on a light note. K.M On 11 Nov 2017 00:30, "James Wanjau via kictanet" < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

I think, Artificial intelligence & deep learning techniques try to “help” the user make decisions that are considered business friendly in many ways from time to bandwidth and not necessarily deep packet inspection of the content. If for instance Google picked data globally(and here I don’t mean geographic spread but high level metadata) on specific signed emails that are sent several times with same subject on instance 1 then on instance 2 with an attachment, the system should know that users are forgetting to include attachments. Two instances indicates a loss of business time and reuse of bandwidth for an event that should have been done only once ;so why not remind user to make it right in instance one.

Hi Ali, You can bet your life and you'll not lose it! For instance, I have never read any of those online T&Cs ever. There's a lady called Mary Jo Foley who reads all the words. I only have to read what she says, then decide whether to click Yes or forget about the online service. On 14 November 2017 at 11:24, Ali Hussein <ali@hussein.me.ke> wrote:

Hi Ali,
You can bet your life and you'll not lose it!
For instance, I have never read any of those online T&Cs ever. There's a lady called Mary Jo Foley who reads all the words. I only have to read what she says, then decide whether to click Yes or forget about the online service.

I'm willing to bet my one year salary :-) That less than 1% of people who click on 'Agree' regarding T&Cs don't read them.

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 :-)

As a matter of fact, a vendor put a $1000 reward in an End User Licence Agreement that was claimed 5 months later back in 2005. https://techtalk.pcpitstop.com/2012/06/12/it-pays-to-read-license-agreements...
