I love how companies like Facebook, and Google, are now starting to have to show some accountability.
It's disgusting what they get away with.

On the coattails of Mark Zuckerberg's testimony to Congress, you'd think he'd make an effort to lose the 'bad guy' image but Facebook just moved 1.5 billion users out of reach of the new European privacy law GDPR to avoid future liability if it breaks the new data protection rules.

How did they move them out of reach of these rules? The rules apply to the data of EU residents.

The policy change doesn't affect EU residents, it affects users from Africa, Asia, Australia and Latin America.
They've changed their terms of service so that these users are governed by Facebook Inc in the US rather than Facebook Ireland. Otherwise, they would be required to apply the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to these countries outside the EU.
US laws are less restrictive and this change means Facebook users outside Europe will no longer be able to file complaints with the Irish data protection commissioner or in the Irish courts.

Any email client that offers a search feature for your mail will have to "analyse" it in order to do so. If you have your emails stored on your own machine then your locally installed client can do that, but if your email is stored on a server, that search algoritm will probably run on that server as well.
Lush has such a search feature, but I don't think Gav is "analyzing" our messages every time we search for something (though that might explain why he's always so busy). The ! terms might allow them to do such a thing though (if there's no law preventing them).

Tutanota has managed to develop a full search feature that works on the client side only using indexes. This ensures that the server never sees any unencrypted data or any search meta data. Clever stuff!

I believe Protonmail is working on something similar also.
