There was a more direct case where someone’s child had been interacting with Gemini inappropriately resulting in Google nuking the entire families Google accounts.

I still remember how uploading photos of man's own child created the catastrophic chain of events.

Kicker? The photos were requested by a doctor.

Google has been nuking accounts since their inception.

I have seen people being locked out as early as 2011 of accounts that could only be unlocked by sending a copy of an ID. Due to regulatory change of saving of information based on age (first 13 and above was ok, then became 16 and above).

It was a fake story on reddit.

That’s quite insane, especially considering how Google is pushing Gemini into every single product.
