Google turns off its ad scanning in Gmail and education apps
May 5, 2014
Google has announced this week in an online statement that it had permanently removed all ads from its Apps for Education, including its Gmail service. The search giant will no longer collect or use student data.
The change comes as Google is facing growing scrutiny over how it collects and analyzes data for advertising, particularly among students.
About 40 percent of nonprofit colleges use Google for institutional email.
