Only if you use Google which I will never do.

No, find EU alternatives to the G-Spot suite of personal information black holes.

A topic worth spending more time on.

hence why i use gmail for my porn, anti vax, russian leachware/spyware and competitor ai signup. Oh and F google cutting 1000000s of trees in Finland. They can shag off

What if you don't have a google account? I never did after learning that they were helping China track dissidents, but it's almost impossible to avoid the buggers on the internet.

I think I read that @proton.me Mail can be set up to look let you keep using your Gmail address, but without your emails actually being accessed by Google. I should check and set that up if true.

It seems like it would be easier to just stop using Alphabet's products. They've demonstrated their intent to continue doing shit like this despite the fact that no one should be ok with it, and I suspect the only people who aren't immediately disabling this "feature" are simply ignorant of it.

You minimize your Google usage on all fronts, that's what you do. E-mail leaves FIRST since it has most of your information. Take away from them what they really want. Use @proton.me, @tuta.com, maybe even one you still get from your internet provider. Or self host; mail is a bitch, though.

Worth noting: Personal Intelligence only kicks in if you've opted in and connected Gmail/Photos to AI Mode — it's off by default, and so far limited to Pro/Ultra subscribers.

Guess what? No it wont.

Google finding ways to monetize its all product via ads, then will be asked to pay for them to remove the ads, both forward and reverse won.
