I have been working in the field of technology for 30 years. I used to be a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer, and began putting up my own websites in the late 1990s. I also did computer programming for years in Saudi Arabia in the 1990s, developing educational software that today would be considered “AI”, and I was even published in academic journals within my field at that time.

I was on the Internet before Google was, and watched Google grow into a worldwide dominant software company based on intelligence, as they built the best search engine in the world.

When they combined that search technology with a new email program called Gmail, it became the best email program in the world, mainly based on its search capabilities, but also its ease of use.

Google was smart to give it away for free, and thereby become the most used email program in the world.

But nothing is ever truly “free” when it comes to Big Tech. They use your data to study market trends and develop products and advertising based on what you reveal to them using their “free” programs.

Most of Google’s icons for their products are Freemason symbols, as you can see from the featured image of this article.

Google is also a major military contractor for the U.S., and their products have reportedly been used by the Zionist State of Israel in their attacks on Palestinians, and Iranian and Lebanese leaders.

Today, Gmail is used by Google to train their industry-leading AI program, Gemini. Most people who use Google do not even know this, or if they know, they don’t care. One has to allegedly manually turn it off, but some have found that even when turned off, it is accessing their emails.

Don’t allow Gemini AI access to your Gmail!

Gmail LLM is here: whether you want it or not, Gemini AI can use your Google emails to craft texts.

Excerpts:

A Reddit user shared their conversation with the Gemini AI chatbot and was quite shocked to learn that the data used came from their Gmail emails, despite never having allowed access for the Large Language Model (LLM).

Gemini was quick to explain that they would not have access to private emails in Gmail, but the conversation proved otherwise…

The user on Reddit asked a very simple question: “Can you tell something about me?”

The answer came at quite a surprise as Gemini was obviously accessing this person’s Gmail email account for crafting the answer. The Large Language Model even mentioned email lists the person subscribed to on Gmail and gave examples of emails from their Gmail account saying “Gmail Items considered for this response”…

The conversation then went on with the person asking Gemini LLM how to “remove access to my Gmail email for you? I don’t like you [Gemini] having access”.

The chat bot gave a lengthy answer about how to remove access via the Google Account permissions for third-party apps, but Gemini AI was not even listed there. Instead, the user should have simply gone to Settings > Extensions > Disable “Google Workspace” – as otherwise it seems impossible to stop Gemini from using Gmail information for AI purposes.

The user went on to complain: “You’re not in ‘Third-party apps with account access’, but you still have access to my email. You’ve just listed them earlier.”

Yet again, Gemini was quick to deny using Gmail info for AI, or, if at all the LLM would only have “Limited Demo Access” which granted Gemini “temporary access to a small snippet of your email content to understand the context of your questions”. (Full article.)

The fact that Google shares data from people’s free Gmail accounts with the U.S. Government has been widely reported.

One of the most recent reports came from the Washington Post (via MSN) last week about how Homeland Security was targeting Americans who opposed Trump’s immigration policies, based on what they wrote in their Gmail emails.

Homeland Security is targeting Americans with this secretive legal weapon

Excerpts:

He had decided that the America he believed in would not make it if people like him didn’t speak up, so on a cool, rainy morning in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Jon, 67 and recently retired, marched up to his study and began to type.

He had just read about the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s case against an Afghan it was trying to deport. The immigrant, identified in The Washington Post’s Oct. 30 investigation as H, had begged federal officials to reconsider, telling them the Taliban would kill him if he was returned to Afghanistan.

“Unconscionable,” Jon thought as he found an email address online for the lead prosecutor, Joseph Dernbach, who was named in the story. Peering through metal-rimmed glasses, Jon opened Gmail on his computer monitor.

“Mr. Dernbach, don’t play Russian roulette with H’s life,” he wrote.

“Err on the side of caution. There’s a reason the US government along with many other governments don’t recognise the Taliban. Apply principles of common sense and decency.”

That was it. In five minutes, Jon said, he finished the note, signed his first and last name, pressed send and hoped his plea would make a difference.

Five hours and one minute later, Jon was watching TV with his wife when an email popped up in his inbox. He noticed it on his phone.

“Google,” the message read,

“has received legal process from a Law Enforcement authority compelling the release of information related to your Google Account.”

Listed below was the type of legal process: “subpoena.” And below that, the authority: “Department of Homeland Security.”

That’s how it began. Soon would come a knock at the door by men with badges and, for Jon, the relentless feeling of being surveilled in a country where he never imagined he would be.

Google hadn’t provided him a copy of the subpoena, but it wasn’t the conventional sort. Homeland Security had come after him with what’s known as an administrative subpoena, a powerful legal tool that, unlike the ones people are most familiar with, federal agencies can issue without an order from a judge or grand jury.

Though the U.S. government had been accused under previous administrations of overstepping laws and guidelines that restrict the subpoenas’ use, privacy and civil rights groups say that, under President Donald Trump, Homeland Security has weaponized the tool to strangle free speech.

For many Americans, the anonymous ICE officer, masked and armed, represents Homeland Security’s most intimidating instrument, but the agency often targets people in a far more secretive way.

Homeland Security is not required to share how many administrative subpoenas it issues each year, but tech experts and former agency staff estimate it’s well into the thousands, if not tens of thousands.

Because the legal demands are not subject to independent review, they can take just minutes to write up and, former staff say, officials throughout the agency, even in mid-level roles, have been given the authority to approve them. (Full article.)

I stopped corresponding with people on Gmail several years ago, as I attempted to explain to them the dangers and privacy issues with using the “free” Google email program.

As a result, I have lost email contact with family members, business associates, and fellow independent journalists over their refusal to not use Gmail to email with me.

Late last year, for example, my own mother purchased a new smartphone, and advised me as to what her new email address was, which was a Gmail email address.

I tried to explain to her that I do not email people on Gmail, and asked her not to take it personally, as it has been my policy for years. I suggested an alternative free secure email program.

She replied that she had already given everyone her new email address, and that she was not changing it. Well for most of my life in knowing my mother, we never had email until about 20 years ago, and I simply sent her physical letters through the postal system, so that is now how I need to communicate with her again.

Last week I was looking for an attorney in a legal matter I am involved in, and I was recommended an attorney from one of my former attorneys I have used.

But this attorney used a Gmail email, and I told him that no attorney should be using Gmail, as it automatically broke the attorney – client privilege. He was sympathetic to my “opinion,” but he made it clear that he was not going to change his email, and preferred not having me as a client as a result.

I get it. Google makes great products. And when your life is so dependent upon them, it takes a fair bit of work to get rid of them, and the products that are more secure, and even free, are just not as good as Gmail.

For most people who refuse to switch off of Gmail, it is primarily laziness and ignorance of the technology.

I have had the same issues with authors on Substack, a few times now. I do not maintain an account on Substack, and therefore never login, because Substack is run and owned by pretty much the same venture capitalists that fund and control X, and many other social media companies who track everyone. And their privacy policy, at least the last time I checked, is one of the worst ones on the Internet.

I issued a warning about Substack back in 2022:

Protecting Your Privacy Should be a High Priority in 2023 – Beware of Substack!

One can still read Substack articles and follow certain Substack pages without logging in and creating an account, by using an RSS feed.

The address would look like this: https://[name].substack.com/feed – Then you can read it through your RSS feed program. I use Thunderbird, and there is an article about it here:

How to Beat Internet Censorship and Create Your Own Newsfeed

But if you are not logged into to Substack, then you cannot comment, and you also cannot support authors who provide paid subscriptions.

I have tried to contact certain publishers on Substack whose content I use, to find out if I can support them some other way outside of Substack. A couple of times that I have tried to do this, the authors replied with a Gmail email account. When I ask them for a non-Gmail account, I usually never hear from them again.

This is concerning, because like we saw during Trump’s first Administration, there were lots of Qanon accounts that were probably setup by the CIA or other intelligence agencies, or even Big Tech themselves.

So while most people are probably just too lazy to get a free secure email account instead of Gmail, others may be doing it intentionally to track you, as I am sure was the case in Trump 1.0 with the whole “Q” movement, which was mostly “controlled opposition”.

It doesn’t take much time to setup a non-Gmail email account that focuses more on privacy, and many are even free. Here is one list:

Best Privacy Email Accounts & Clients in 2026

You might lose email contact with family members and friends if you refuse to correspond with them on their Gmail accounts, but you also might avoid being arrested in your home and hauled off to one of the huge warehouse prisons Homeland Security is now building as well, based on what you write in your “free” Gmail account.

So from that day on they plotted to take his life. Therefore Jesus no longer moved about publicly among the Jews. Instead he withdrew to a region near the desert, to a village called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples. (John 11:53-54)
