I have nothing nice to say about google, so I'm not defending them, but didn't they announce our email is not getting scanned any more? Given that they reversed the do-no-evil motto, the sad part is that I guess they have enough information about us not to bother reading our emails.

They did, but they also have a feature that will tell you about everything you’ve purchased, mined from your email.

They said email was not being scanned for adwords and similar products. They never said it wasn’t being scanned for other reasons.
