When I did this Gmail eliminated all my different categories for spam; etc, so my unread messages jumped from 4 to 9700.
If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:
79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

I know we’re all (justifiably) laughing at the French for having Louvre as the Louvre’s security system, but every time some piece of national heritage is damaged or destroyed (or stolen) in France - be it a fire at Notre Dame or a leak in the Louvre ceiling or a heist of national jewels-

A 2020 study found that Amazon—which shares owner Jeff Bezos with The Washington Post—is one of the largest employers of people on SNAP.
As SNAP funds froze, mayors and governors have pledged to supplement the missing federal assistance, while federal judges ruled Friday that the Trump administration should use contingency funds to keep food aid running despite the government shutdown.
Uncertainty hits after vulnerable Americans woke up to a SNAP freeze
Amid a benefits pause, nonprofit groups plan to work extra hours to get food out to vulnerable residents, and local community members are also stepping up.

To be asked to write about racism only to be racially aggressed in the editing process is a new level unlocked I have to say.
