Comment on Google Says Scanning Text Of Your Emails To Sell Ads Is Perfectly Legal

Comments

I have a hard time imagining the problems with this. This is a case of the "Chinese Room": The scanning in the advertising isn't 'understanding' what you wrote, so its completely different from if a person was reading your e-mail.

I would like it if one day we could start to make that distinction.
