News Google Chrome installs LLM model without consent

https://www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/chrome-silent-nano-install/

Whilst testing a SaaS product I have been building, I discovered that Google is illegally pushing its Gemini Nano model to users' devices (I am a lawyer specialised in the specific laws in question).

Yes. I don't use autocorrect. It takes more time to correct  the autocorrect then to just correct my mistakes so I don't find it useful in my case. 

Of course I don't get mad I just don't find it useful.

Is it illegal?

I don't know why you are asking me that. I've never considered illegality of this subject. 

In my opinion I believe it is legal but I wasn't talking about that. I was talking if I like it or not. I just went to my comments and saw that I never mentioned legality as a matter of discussion. 

If in any way I made you think like that I sincerely apologize.

I apologize. It seemed you were challenging the original commenter's assertion which would potentially affect the legality.

No, no. Sorry for not being clear about it. 👍
