   You could use a different phrase than invade because it seems as though Google is attacking but instead a more passive term. The question has grammatical errors ex. user’s.

   I think Danny is right about the word “invade,” which doesn’t seem like quite the right word. Also, it would be better to use the specific brand name, Gmail, instead of “Google mail.”

   I’m not quite sure the question makes sense yet, either. If users who are signing up for Gmail are informed during the sign up process that Google’s computers will automatically scan your email for words that it can connect to relevant ads on the side of the Gmail interface, where is the problem? Is it possible that Google is not doing enough to inform users? Is the information Google provides at sign up adequate? Clear? Understandable by the average user? To what extent are users aware of the tradeoffs between loss of some privacy and gaining access to a valued free service? Are users happy with the trade-offs?

   Take a look at the privacy info from Google about Gmail and at this Gmail privacy FAQ from the privacy organization, EPIC, before you do any more work rewriting your question.
