Comment on Gmail users warned to opt out of new feature - what we know
Scotty_Trees@lemmy.world [bot] 1 week agoWait, wait. You want me to suspend reality and believe that Google isn’t doing anything super shady at all here just because they said they totally aren’t? bro, bro…BRUH!!

If you believe that Google's just going to brazenly lie about what they're doing, what's the point of changing the settings at all then?
In fact, Google is subject to various laws and they're subject to concerns by big corporate customers, both of which could result in big trouble if they end up flagrantly and wilfully misusing data that's supposed to be private. So yes, I would tend to believe that if the feature doesn't say the data is being used for training I tend to believe that. It at least behooves those who claim otherwise to come up with actual evidence of their claims.
