    Conversely, why not if they can track my online activity, social media presence, shopping and voting habits. I mean they listen to conversations I’m having to make recommendations for ads so why not read my email too? Shit, they probably have enough information to just guess what’s there based off like 7 pieces of data. Or maybe they agree they won’t but you’ll use a browser that’ll read it as you do.

    That said if you’re not paying for your email or anything else, you’re the product and arguably letting businesses read your email is the tradeoff, which is crazy that we ever collectively agreed to that for so long.
