    hey, maybe you should err on the side of starting out with the idea that google; who famously removed “Don’t be evil” from their corporate mantra, is upto no good? of course it doesn’t hurt to verify… but you seem to suggest we should start and stop our thinking with “look at my poor boy google who wouldn’t hurt a fly!”

      I’m not even saying that Google’s data collection is innocuous. I’m just saying that this post is incorrect in its claim that Google is letting Gemini access your apps even if you try to turn that access off. Just because Google does some nefarious things doesn’t mean you can’t think critically about actual specific actions they take.
