Why should Alice get to restrict what Bob can do with his inbox?


It's not about Bob, he can do what he want.

It's about the email service provider, that should stop analyze the email text to extract its meaning. Gmail uses it to display ads to Bob, builds a shadow profile for Alice (like Facebook) and trains an artificial intelligence (see headline link).
