I contacted Google for comment, and a spokesperson sent me the following statement: "These reports are misleading - we have not changed anyone's settings. Gmail Smart Features have existed for many years, and we do not use your Gmail content for training our Gemini AI model. Lastly, we are always transparent and clear if we make changes to our terms of service and policies."
Data deletion in distributed systems presents challenges that extend far beyond simple database operations. Engineers face a fundamental dilemma: the fear of accidentally destroying critical information keeps teams cautious, yet failing to delete data can expose them to legal risks under regulations like GDPR, increase storage costs, and erode customer trust. "Deletion can't be an afterthought," the presenters emphasized. A major driver of Netflix's platform is managing testing data generated by frequent end-to-end production tests.

The questions you ask yourself while learning reveal not just what you don't know but how you think, what confuses you, what excites you, how you make connections, and how you construct meaning from new information. Traditionally, much of this process happened in private-a child working through a math problem in their notebook, a teenager wondering about a concept while walking to school, someone lying in bed thinking about something they heard that day.
The company is in an awkward growth phase. It's a 9-year-old startup and brought in half a billion dollars from July 2024 to July 2025. Wow! But its growth rate is slowing, and there's less urgency from businesses that have implemented new GDPR and privacy practices. Also, an unnoted factor in The Information's report is that OneTrust rocketed out to such early growth thanks in large part to being the recommended privacy partner by Google sell-side account execs.
The pace can be relentless, but it's all in a day's work for busy Airport Search Unit It's just after 9am in Terminal 1 of Dublin Airport, and the trays are rattling down the belt in a steady rhythm - coats, laptops, shoes, water bottles half-forgotten until the last second. Upon arrival, I can see a woman has been seated in a chair and a member of the Airport Search Unit (ASU) has pulled out a privacy screen to make sure she's OK.
Late last month, reports surfaced that Microsoft Teams would add a new feature in December of this year, which would pinpoint the location of any employee using the company's Wi-Fi.

You and Debbie downer should know that when you attempted to log into my disabled Facebook account I received a text message that an attempt was made. I know it was you because it was the same day the two of you were having a little meeting about our neighborhood Facebook page.

There's hardly ever such a thing as truly free money. We pay for everything, in some way: with labor, with time, with suffering. So getting a payment from a tech or social media settlement isn't exactly free - it's likely the company messed up in some way and it legitimately owes you that cash - but it certainly can feel like getting free money. And if you're already using the tech or platform, then you might as well get paid for the issue.
