Just an annoyed rant on my part.  New censorship DID just get put into YouTube (12/9), and I've seen GMails get censored if you put words into the subject that they don't approve of, so I'm just figuring that could be why they were down.

I'm spending increasingly more of my time in duckduckgo and rumble now (and several others that aren't censoring).  The FCC just began looking into breaking up Facebook a couple of days ago with Google (or Alphabet) on the horizon...  Who knows any more what's going to happen?

That said, my Gmail, google and youtube are all back up.

And what if you enable CONFIDENTIAL Mode in Gmail when composing? Is that watched by the AI too i wonder? If so whats the point of confidential Mode?

What's the point?  In a word: Marketing.  Here's one of many links talking about it.

No problem there. Nobody ever looks at those, right ?
