Overview
- A proposed class-action complaint was filed late Tuesday in federal court in San Jose, California.
- Plaintiffs say Google switched Gemini to a default-on setting across Gmail, Google Chat, and Meet in October without notifying users.
- The filing claims Gemini can access the entire recorded history of communications, including every email and attachment, unless users disable the tool.
- Turning off Gemini requires navigating multiple privacy settings, according to the lawsuit.
- Google has not responded to requests for comment, and legal experts say the case could influence how AI features are integrated and regulated.
