Why are you anthropomorphizing an algorithm?

Don't you think you could get your point across without being obtuse and patronizing?

"It's not like individual employees are reading your mail, its just an algorithm that handles it automatically."

That could have been a cooler move.

Companies are moral persons.

Yup, this was the wake-up call for me. I know everyone here is like "duh of course they look at everything," but sometimes it takes a concrete case to really feel what that means.

I switched to Protonmail soon after that, and honestly I barely miss Gmail at all now. I just changed my workflow to not use email as a catchall for everything that I needed to be able to search.

Fastmail also has to read your email in order to transfer it from the sender to your browser.
