Google is facing a new class-action lawsuit alleging that its Gemini AI assistant was used to unlawfully access and analyze the private communications of millions of users without their consent. The complaint, filed in a federal court in San Jose, California, claims that Google secretly enabled Gemini across its Gmail, Chat, and Meet platforms in October, allowing it to exploit the entire history of users' private conversations and data. The lawsuit argues that while users were previously given an option to enable Google's AI features, the company activated Gemini for all users by default, compelling them to navigate complex privacy settings to opt-out. This action, the suit alleges, constitutes a significant breach of user privacy through the non-consensual collection of sensitive personal and business information.
