What we call the privacy...

Google is the biggest and most popular mail and search service in the world, but since i started to use it, i always seen the context ads in it.

As i know, context ad is formed based on the content of the page displayed. What does it mean? 
It means that Google indexing content of my mailbox to provide me ad i might be interested in.
But my mail is belong to me, and i don't want any one or any service to have an access to it...
It brought a question: "Is it legal?". 
The answer is: Yes, it is.
It is described in Google's term of service, so i was forced to accept without having any other options.

I found some video about it.
 
It is an ad, but it clearly show the issue of privacy.

  1. Oh,yes. The privacy in internet and especially what touch on your personal information became to public and sometimes it's not enough safety, marketers are gaining more information and then using it to give us more targeted ads, but it's sometimes became annoying or because of artificial intelligence give ads that's not connected to our needs. The problem is urgent and sociaty have to pay attention and take care about it, do some actions, people have to have choice. Do they want or not to let to seach engiens and others to track them or not.
