Yahoo scanned customer emails for US intelligence
Lets take it a different way:<p>You&#x27;re knowingly sending your data to a 3rd party. You&#x27;re not encrypting. It&#x27;s not through the USPS (special protections).<p>It seems bloody evident that, of course, your email provider can read your emails! Unless you&#x27;re encrypting with GPG, then they can (and they can still read the signing keys).<p>Yahoo, Google, and friends all scan, dedup, and all sorts of tricks to determine marketing and quality content (spamming). If you&#x27;re worried, run your own mailserver. It&#x27;s what I do, along with using gmail. But I know that, at any time, people&#x2F;scripts&#x2F;ai are reading everything sent and received.<p>edit: I&#x27;d much prefer to hear commentary&#x2F;how wrong&#x2F;how right&#x2F;how crazy I am, rather than -1&#x27;s.I&#x27;d like to hear a discussion about the &quot;Secrecy of text written on postcards&quot;....
