WARNING: Do NOT ignore #Gmail's new #AI scanning default settings. 1.8 billion users automatically opted in to allow Gmail access to all private messages & attachments to train AI models since June 2024.
Here's what happened:
1. Gmail enabled "Smart Features" by default for ALL users without clear notification.
2. They tied basic functionality like spell checking to AI scanning (i.e., if want spell check you need to accept full email analysis).

WARNING: Do NOT ignore Gmail's new AI scanning default settings. 1.8 billion users automatically opted in to allow Gmail access to all private messages & attachments to train AI models since June 2024. Here's what happened: 1. Gmail enabled "Smart Features" by default for ALL users without clear notification. 2. They tied basic functionality like spell checking to AI scanning (i.e., if want spell check you need to accept full email analysis). 3. Email categories (Primary, Updates, Social) get disabled when you opt out, despite working for years without "Smart Features." What they're accessing: - Every email you send and receive - All attachments and documents - Personal conversations and sensitive information - Business communications and contracts - 18-month data retention through Gemini Activity The numbers: - Users affected: 1.8 billion Gmail accounts - Features generating: 10M+ daily AI summaries from your emails - User complaints: +20% year-over-year on Reddit - Adoption: 70% keep it enabled (Google Q3 2025) - vs 2023: 0% auto-opt-in To opt out (you need BOTH locations): 1. Gmail app/web settings: Disable "Smart Features" 2. Workspace admin console: Disable "AI Personalization" Otherwise, your private communications become training data for AI models (unless you manually find and disable these settings in two separate locations). Google is harvesting 1.8 billion users' private communications without explicit consent by making basic features dependent on data collection. If you value email privacy, check your settings immediately and share this so others can make an informed choice. Don't be a guinea pig for Google's AI training. | 20 comments on LinkedIn

"In a normal world, this should be an immense scandal in Europe.
Le Monde has a long article (https://lemonde.fr/international/article/2025/11/19/nicolas-guillou-juge-francais-de-la-cpi-sanctionne-par-les-etats-unis-face-aux-attaques-les-magistrats-de-la-cour-tiendront_6654016_3210.html) describing the hellish life of Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the ICC in The Hague, due to U.S. sanctions punishing him for authorizing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant for war crimes in Gaza.
Guillou's daily existence has been transformed into a Kafkaesque nightmare. He cannot: open or maintain accounts with Google, Amazon, Apple, or any US company; make hotel reservations (Expedia canceled his booking in France hours after he made it); conduct online commerce, since he can't know if the packaging is American; use any major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex are all American); access normal banking services, even with non-American banks, as banks worldwide close sanctioned accounts; conduct virtually any financial transaction.
He describes it as being "economically banned across most of the planet," including in his own country, France, and where he works, the Netherlands.
That's the real shocking aspect of this: the Americans are:
- punishing a European citizen
- for doing his job in Europe
- applying laws Europe officially supports
- at an institution based in Europe
- that Europe helped create and fund
and Europe is not only doing essentially nothing to protect him, they're actively enforcing America's sanctions against their own citizen - European banks closing his accounts, European companies refusing him service, European institutions standing by while Washington destroys a European judge's life on European soil.
Again, in a normal world, European leaders and citizens should be absolutely outraged about this. But we've so normalized the hollowing out of European sovereignty that the sight of a European citizen being economically executed on European soil for upholding European law is treated, at best, as an unfortunate technical complication in transatlantic relations."
"Het is simpelweg het marktdenken dat ervoor zorgt dat Nederlandse infrastructuur keer op keer in buitenlandse handen valt of dreigt te vallen. In mijn eigen werk kom ik vaak genoeg politici en ambtenaren tegen die streven naar een overheid die zelf niets kan en zoveel mogelijk uitbesteed. Zij krijgen zowat een allergische reactie van de suggestie dat de overheid zelf kennis en kunde opbouwt."

"En dan is het nog een ding dat grote softwarebedrijven ons willen wijsmaken dat ongeveer altijd genoeg is, die willen ons ook bestoken met advertenties en onze persoonlijke data doorverkopen, die hebben er dus belang bij als wij overal AI gebruiken.
Ze worden geholpen in hun missie door een eindeloze schare ‘gewone mensen’ die ook ten prooi zijn gevallen aan het ‘ongevirus’."
