Well 6 years later Google is still using email content to select targeted ads in Gmail.

Has anyone heard about coming legislation that would prevent from examining the content of email in order to serve relevant advertising?

Or are we still to profit from this highly efficient advertising platform for years to come?

Regards,

In reference to Google requiring the least personal info to open an account.
The only thing you REALLY need is a password. Any name, address, zip, birthday, etc., etc. can be whatever you want to put down. No one is going to know. Whether that be with Google, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc., No one is goinng to check. Why do you think so much spam comes from all these free email providers. The only sure thing they have is the IP that was used to open the account and IP used to access the account. So, Google requiring only your name is not any worse than the others requiring a bunch of info that can be faked, anyways.

I’m a new user, but I became very concerned when I noticed the ads began matching the contents of my e-mails and I plan to stop using Google Gmail.

I agree with most of the people here (although this article is 3 years old already), that there shouldn’t be so much fuss about the “reading-my-mails” thing. From the customer part: use it or just leave it.
Another aspect of the thing (that is, the marketing one), this feature is a REVOLUTIONARY idea in ADVERTISING matters, since it delivers only to those I want to reach; no lost cents on non-potential customer . A perfect solution for electronic DM targeting low-middle range youngsters. (Professionals I wouldn’t say cause they – just like me – already have the practice of straight away deleting all the ad-looking things without even finishing to read the subject).

So, the REAL ISUUE could be behind the scenes – either someone else wants to take this patent (MSN?), or might be that the well-known US (and/or their middle-east friend’s) secret service wanted to put a hand on the information for processing and Google didn’t let this (yet).
(Tell me I’m a conspiracy guy but this is the world we’re living in…)
