Well played, google?

From the article:
"Second, we have evidence to suggest that a primary goal of the
attackers was accessing the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights
activists. "
I have orders of magnitude fewer users than gmail does, and often look
at their mailboxes (with their consent, of course), but I still couldn't
tell you the political position of any of them (apart from the politicians).
The ability to automatically discern users' political positions from
their inbox is not one that any email provider reasonably needs.
