Anyone know if this is happening outside the US and if it is whether it's happening inside the EU?

    I'm in the UK and today I got asked whether I wanted to leave this on or not - it just notified me and asked me to confirm my consent.

    So I think this article's headline is slightly misleading - Google is actively informing users and asking them to confirm their consent.

    I live in Finland using Android on a Nokia and I can switch Gemini off completely and choose to use the old Google Assistant instead. It did initially appear out of nowhere when they patched it in, but I could immediately turn it off with the same prompt that the other guy also got.

    If it's unavoidable it seems to be an US only thing atm.
