Unroll.me settles with FTC after claiming it didn’t collect and sell email data (theverge.com)

While it always felt creepy knowing that google read every mail I got or sent, and a pretty awful sort of weird whenever it "helpfully" automatically set reminders in my phone for planes without my consent, an example of just plain abuse really does simplify choosing a side.

I mean, snooping on my mail so they can sell my purchasing history to competitors that want to better target ads against me? No thanks!
