Google is facing criticism for forcing users to choose between privacy and functionality in its Gemini app.
Users have discovered that in order to protect their privacy, they need to allow Google employees to review some saved chats, raising concerns about the privacy of sensitive information.
Unlike other AI companies that require explicit consent for improving their models, Google's approach in Gemini has been perceived as user-hostile and a breach of trust.
The lack of essential organizational capabilities in Gemini, combined with the ultimatum presented to users, has led to frustration and calls for Google to prioritize user privacy while maintaining functionality.
