San Jose. A case has been filed against the famous tech company Google in the court of California, America. A complaint has been made in the court that Google quietly activated its Gemini AI tool in Gmail, Google Chat and Google Meet from October 2025 without taking the consent of the users. In the complaint filed in the court, it has been said that by activating Gemini AI tool in Gmail, Chat and Meet, Google has got access to the content of crores of users. This has been described as a violation of privacy.
Those who complained about the tech company in the court have said that Google had earlier kept Gemini opt-in. That means, if the user wanted, he could use it in Gmail, chat and meet. Later Google added Gemini to all three of its platforms. It has been told in the complaint that users can deactivate Gemini from Gmail, Google Chat and Google Meet, but it is kept in the settings in such a way that it becomes difficult to find. Most users cannot find Gemini at all. Google has not responded to the court case, but about Gemini it says that the purpose of this AI tool is to increase the experience and productivity of users. Also, Google says that Gemini works within the scope of its privacy policy.
Adding Gemini to Gmail, Google Chat and Google Meet without informing users is natural for technology users to be worried. Crores of people around the world use these platforms of a big tech company like Google just thinking that their privacy will be safe. In the past too, there have been cases against Google regarding the use of data. This use of AI tools is going to open doors for other companies to do similar work. Provided that the court in America does not ban it. AI tools are very much in trend these days and tech experts are constantly warning users about the dangers posed by it.
