Define "read" - you obviously don't mean "process" because that wouldn't make any sense. So you must be talking about something more specific?
It depends on what you mean by "process." https://variety.com/2017/digital/news/google-gmail-ads-email...

Can you explain how "removing options for recipients to forward, copy, print, and download" could "help prevent users shooting themselves in the foot"?
Not sure why you’re being downvoted. To me it seems only to increase the chance for users to shoot themselves in the foot, as they now have a false sense of security.

What did you mean? You seemed upset to learn that they were still doing something ("Alas") - what did you mean?
The title made me think Google was announcing that they won't read my email any more. Alas.

This definition isn't perfect but it should be enough for to you understand the intent.
I love the concept as a sender, I hate the concept as a receiver. It means a ton more mental overhead: "do I need to jot down the info from this email somewhere (manually?) now because at some point it's going to expire or my access is going to be revoked?". Frustrating. It's the opposite of all the benefits of gMail search.

At my new job I am using Gmail via GSuites for first time and I didnt know how antiquated Gmail is. Lots of missing features and rather confusing UI.
But adding more security options and giving users control is good.
> removing options for recipients to forward, copy, print, and download Oh please... Everybody can do a screenshot nowadays, and even Google itself integrated OCR into its Screenshot tool at Android a few years ago. What a waste of time to make the life of people harder who must use this "security" feature!
The day this comes out I hope there will be a browser extension that automatically strips the retarded DRM by copying the html from the "viewer" website and replies to the original sender with the contents, so that a "cracked" copy of the email is saved in both the sender's and recipient's history as it should have been in the first place.

I get a bunch of information through emails at work that Im not allowed to share outside the company, and tons of others that I need to send to people outside the company. If the people sending me the internal company emails mark them as such, I can be sure I never inadvertently forward the wrong emails to the wrong group. I think the threat model is about catching your own mistakes, not preventing bad actors from ac…
it seems it would be more useful to implement things such as "delete message after X days" or "do not forward" instead of mock features like this. Adding an autodelete feature in gmail is overly complex, requires filters + google scripts.
