  Just because someone collects data doesn’t mean that they’re using it for a particular purpose. I’ve worked at orgs that archived gobs of data - not necessarily user data - “in case we find a use for it.” Possession of data does not guarantee possession of a particular insight.

  I’m not saying that no one at Google knew. Just that it’s far from impossible.

    Oh, absolutely, it’s just the sheer amount of data they do use on people is wild when compared to the fact that they basically ignore the contents of emails xD
