That wording doesn't really clear *anything* up, at least to this unfrozen caveman. You can turn this off before the deadline, or if you've already turned it off, it'll stay off. Buuuuuut it will still interact with WhatsApp etc whether it's on or off, and you can change that in the App settings page?
Does that mean you have to turn off "share my app usage with Gemini" in every app you install on your phone? Unknown. Or is it a single setting on a page for the Gemini app (if it's even an app?)? Dunno. Or something else? Is there actually a settings page called "App"? No idea.
It seems like it might be strategic ambiguity - see also no default assumption of good faith for Google in another part of the thread.
For some reason, there is a line of cases about the duty of good faith under UCC § 2-305 involving the prices gas stations pay their suppliers. Today we report on a new that explains the good faith safe harbor nicely.

Great thanks to @adamshostack for getting people together to think about this issue and to make recommendations to #HHS under the #HIPAA Security Rule.

"Free speech is a grey area, but people’s right to feel welcome and respected is a whole lot greyer. The greyer something is, the harder it becomes to codify in law or institutions. That doesn’t make welcome or respect unimportant:... But the way our laws and institutions work gives even an irresponsible, unethical, individualistic idea of free speech the edge over other, more collective, rights."
Life has been better since I've started practicing not fighting with #emotional #trolls in #comment sections as much. Especially for hot button topics like #ai or #gender issues. Gotta fight the urge to believe that if I just keep explaining my #reasoning that eventually they'll understand my position. I can think of maybe two or three people #online (all on #fediverse, interestingly) that I think would actually listen to my #arguments in #goodfaith.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
