Google Gemini: Privacy in a Gray Area

Starting July 7th, Google's Gemini assistant will access your phone, messages, WhatsApp, and utilities (even with Gemini Apps Activity off) to make calls, send texts, etc. Google claims this is for 'service reliability and safety checks,' deleting data after 72 hours without recording it in your Gemini activity. This gives Gemini deeper access than before, even when tracking is disabled. This blurs privacy lines, raising privacy concerns.
