What the fuck is this /g/?

Google wants to use AI to data-mine my drive files, email files, calendar and sell that data to advertising companies, and fuck knows who else.

And my concern here is that even if I turn the "services" off, I would still be consenting to google datamining those files.

The biggest issue here is that I can't legally grant google this permission, because those files contain commercial-in-confidence data from my employer, contains the private data of other users who haven't consented to shit, and because I work in IT a lot of that data is actually legally privileged and I could be put in prison for providing access to third parties

>inb4 don't use google
The problem is that my clients and employer will be giving google access from their end even if I don't, they're the same files. And many google services are used by third parties, and I suspect are native to Android devices. Android users may not actually be able to turn these services off

Welcome to America. You must be new, in which case you need to go back.

Interesting that they're asking now. A few months ago all those useless features just appeared for my company and users were worried because it popped up a window and said "WE'RE SCANNING YOUR SHIT for AI. CLICK 'GOT IT!' TO CONSENT." Being locked out of the Gmail web client until they click the button. If you weren't an enterprise account you had to chat with an Indian to get a toggle added to turn it back off for the organization.
And yes. I have no faith that they aren't scanning everything to feed into the AI unless you've got the enterprise settings available and disabled.

A few months ago they had a similar one.
They're doing it again because new features.

>Being locked out of the Gmail web client until they click the button
The first thing I tried to do was use a second device and lock the HTML element but only then did I realize that they had actually locked my whole google account forcing me to click one of the buttons.

And that's what gives me the impression that saying "no" to the new features would still be taken as legal consent to access the files.

It seems that users in countries without data protection were just automatically addded, users in some countries like the US and Australia were forced to click "accept" to continue using their accounts, and that users in the UK and some other countries were actually protected from the measures entirely.

If there was ever a time for businesses in particular to de-google that time would be now.

We receive so much AI spam, that providing the exact same AI access to our internal files would be beyond stupid, it's madness.
I don't want the spam I recieve to adapt to my daily meetings on google calendar, I don't want advertisers to know who I'm meeting or to adopt our companies dialogue, and I think there's a entirely reasonable fear about both presenting a very clear identity theft issue.

Fuck off google, total google death

If you had gone vegan before all of this, you wouldn't be in this situation. Now you deserve total surveillance, no privacy, HAHAHAHAHAHA. Privacy will die even for those who think they are safe. The human animals is a disgusting, selfish organism. Time for you to learn your place or else. Behave.

Well I dumped Gmail 25 second ago for Protonmail and am just not going to use either from Android. I just erased my google drive files, and then delete my google account. not shiling either, open to other options, but fuck google.

Google pretends nobody hacks them, but really they are outsourcing data to the third parties who get hacked, and probably paying ransoms to hackers not to be implicated. As google essentially steals the exact same data the hackers do, whether hackers buy the data or steal the data, it would tend to be from the same service providers anyway. So if google has it; it's gone.

America is a totalitarian police state with tech oligarchs at the helm. How is this news to you? I bet you still use Windows.

An email is not confidential, when sent over a private company's servers.
If the stuff you guys are dealing with, is truly so
"legally privileged", you should either be sending it internally, on your own mailserver, or encrypt it during transportation.

Or hey, better yet; Don't actually use email for transfer of data.
Including a link to the download, from a privacy respecting platform, seems like a much better alternative.

>But what if people are CC'd in, and it's totally out of my control!?
In that case, you did not cause the problem, hence you cannot be held responsible.
If you boss is stupid enough to not safekeep all this data, then he should also be held responsible for his actions.
