@Tutanota Even in the EU/UK, There’s a screen where you have to decline Google’s “smart” shit before getting to the app. Bastards.

@Tutanota I haven't used Gmail for months so I don't even care anymore. I deleted the Gmail app by using Canta app. I'm not gonna install it again on my Android just to change some settings

@efialto Better switch to Tuta. ;) It's the safest bet.

@Tutanota To be fair, that setting exists already for quite a while (and I've turned it off ages ago on my gmail account). Good to remind people to check once in a while whether it's still turned off, but it's not like they did this yesterday.Here's the post from january 2025 about exactly this interface.https://workspace.google.com/blog/product-announcements/updated-smart-feature-settings-give-users-increased-choice-and-control

@Tutanota all my critical informations are stored with @Tutanota. All what remains in my gmail is basically junk I can lose without blinking. It's money well spent.

@Tutanota hmm I see no changes in my settings. I guess if you already disabled these, they just stay the same.

@Tutanota OK but how do I disable automatic translation on your article so I can read it in plain English instead of sloppy French? :/

@sebulon @Tutanota It’s activated for me, however, and I’m not even a GMail user. If I send to a GMail user then all my message and distribution contacts are harvested. GMail users naively compromise all their “friends” this way. It was happening before AI. Google always do it and their uses accept this standard on behalf of us all.

@Tutanota second toot about this today - how is this "breaking" when I already switched it all off the last time it was "breaking" two or three months ago?(I verified it's all still off...)

@Tutanota Anyone who thinks Google gonna honor that setting its a fool.Google will keep raping everything you put on their servers, like they have being doing forever. :toot:

@Tutanota Thanks for reminding. I am afraid these toggles are just make believe. They have your data on their servers and already used it for Gemini crap behind the scenes.And none of the alternatives is safe as long as billions of people continue to use gmail blindly.Every mail you sent/receive to/from gmail is a door wide open. No other option then to block all traffic from gmail accounts.

@Tutanota I checked my settings today as I had looked to make sureit was off a while ago. Still off, so they aren't switching it on for people already opted out.

@Tutanota Will share the link with family who need to hear it from "someone else".Had to go Proton for all bc every time I attempted to sign up w Tuta for a account (paid annually after sign-up) I was flagged as potential abuser. With VPN. W/O VPN. Multiple devices, IPs, and browsers over a two-month period. 🤷🏻 That said, I still appreciate what you do. Disappointing to not have been able to sign up and pay. 💰 Maybe fix that. -Random midwestern parent who likes privacy and technology 👍

@efialto When you stay on Gmail, they have your data - no matter what client you use, it's still on the Google server.

@Tutanota Unfortunately the Gemini star icon remains active so you can accidentally click on it. It's a problem on the small top area of the Gmail app on an iphone

@Tutanota I have tried this several times on different days and even weeks. The places I'm supposed to go do not exist on my phone. I'm still getting Gemini and I can't turn the damn thing off.

@Tutanota @troed I'm very confused now, seeing as that I literally turned it off as per your instructions -- and I'm in Europe. Makes me wonder if Google thinks I'm in the US, though.
