Google sent out a notification that it will automatically opt you into using content from your email campaigns to help Google know what to show in Google Search, Shopping, and Maps. It will look for content around "new arrivals, sales or ongoing promotions, social media profiles, and others," Google said.

I think people are confused, this has nothing to do with gmail as far as I can tell.

Google is going to websites and subscribing itself to their newsletters. This is not related to consumers.

It's still good to move away from gmail and google in general, just pointing out that it's not scanning your gmail inbox or something like that.

they are definitely scanning your inbox… you can “opt out” but, i don’t trust that either
