Uh, get the fuck off of these services?

I mean yes, but this has been true for nearly 20 years at this point. Some of this comes back as useful features for everyone. Spam filtering, grammar checking, predictive text, maps route planning, face detection for all sorts of things. The same is true for many modern cars too, security cameras, etc. It all has to be trained on something and to collect more edge cases to improve.
If you care, you avoid their services.
All I get in my Gmail is spam and confirmation codes for 2fa shit. Their AI is just gonna end up being really good at mimicking spam and hacking into accounts.
how does this work with universities and companies that use GMail/Outlook for their emails?
Terms of service for paid accounts say that the content isn’t scanned for any reason. So I guess the other way to avoid feeding the machine is to pay to operate the machine while it feeds on others…

Google photos is a major treat, and nobody talks enough about
I hope it likes spam.
Well, it’s not try that there’s little you can do about it, there’s a lot we can do: STOP USING THOSE SERVICES!
The biggest thing you can do about it is self-host or purchase hosting from a third party that isn’t likely to sell or use your data.
I hope it enjoys reading all the conspiracy newsletters I signed up to and can’t be bothered stopping.
