    “IMPORTANT message for everyone using Gmail,” engineering YouTuber Davey
    Jones wrote in a viral X PSA on this alleged digital Trojan Horse. “You
    have been automatically OPTED IN to allow Gmail to access all your
    private messages & attachments to train AI models.”

    The cybersecurity expert added, “You have to manually turn off Smart
    Features in the Settings menu in TWO locations.”

    i am kind of bitching about nothing but email is a security risk and if your threat model calls for it you should not use it no matter what.
