FeralRobotsTIL that <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GMail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GMail</a> filters search the entire message for whatever text you put in the "From" field. This helps explain why this one particular spam from a dude trying to sell "franchise opportunities" keeps getting past my block: I'd set up a 'never send to spam' filter for my former employer, filtering on From=@[employer_domain].com, & the filter was applying the 'never send to spam' because it matched on employer_domain in the message body.

Mark T. Tomczak"GMail is harvesting your data to feed to an evil AI Moloch that" Yeah listen I'm gonna have to stop you there. What you're saying is true, to some extent.... but GMail search just kicked out two emails from over fifteen years ago that I thought were gone, from a mentor I deeply respected who has passed away. It's gonna take a lot of hypothetical risks to get over the real, immediately-consequential "I thought these words were lost forever and unrecoverable and Google's pathological unwillingness to forget has resurrected them."<a href="https://mastodon.fixermark.com/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Google</a> <a href="https://mastodon.fixermark.com/tags/Gmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gmail</a>

Lauren Weinstein***** How Google Supports Dangerous Phishing Email Attacks *****<a href="https://mastodon.laurenweinstein.org/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Google</a> <a href="https://mastodon.laurenweinstein.org/tags/Gmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gmail</a> has become one of the largest sources of dangerous phishing attacks: Emails claiming fake charges, relating to PayPal, Norton, Bitcoin, and many other products and services. They are flooding non-Gmail email services and coming directly from Google email servers.The whole point of these is to get the recipient to call a provided phone number to have the "charge" removed. Of course for these phishes there was no actual charge -- but the "customer service" folks will ask for financial information and/or try convince busy, nontechie users to download software that gives the phishers control of their systems for even more pervasive attacks.GOOGLE COULD EASILY STOP THESE, BUT THEY REFUSE TO DO SO!These phishes have characteristics that Google could easily use to identify them and block them from being sent, especially to non-Gmail destinations. But Google refuses to act, putting vast numbers of email recipients at risk every day.When all they seem to care about anymore is their misinformation-spewing generative AI, I suppose it's not surprising that Google seems to be just letting Gmail turn into a dangerous nightmare for the rest of the Net.Google's old motto, "Don't Be Evil", is just a memory.L

Jason Toal 🍁🍁🍁Having recently deactivated my PayPal account, I am moving on to a much bigger project. GMAIL. I have been an avid google user since the earliest times, so extricating myself from its clutch could take some effort.
