- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

In 2006, email monitoring was nowhere near what it is today. Filters existed, but they were largely keyword and pattern based, think regex and spam signatures. There was no large scale semantic analysis, no contextual language understanding, and no practical NLP capable of inferring intent. Compute and storage constraints alone made deep inspection of email bodies impractical at scale. Most enforcement relied on metadata headers, IPs, sender reputation, not true content comprehension. Comparing 2006 capabilities to modern transformer based language analysis is simply ahistorical.
But yes Gmail is so much more secure now. You know, Gmail as in Google Mail, the largest marketing firm in existence, capable of serving personalized advertisements simply by scanning the contents of your email.
Your confidence is directly proportional to how incredibly wrong you are.
Oh wow you were almost interesting but then you decided to close by being a raging dickhead for absolutely no good reason. Touch grass.
You literally started your comment with "lol wut"?
My condensation is quite warranted. I simply addressed your misplaced confidence and you didn't like it. I have absolutely no responsibility to be nice to you.
