A Reddit post argues that Gemini and Google services are a poor fit for users who put privacy first.

It says Google’s ad-driven business model conflicts with an AI assistant that can see emails, calendars, documents, and other personal context.
The author also argues that cloud processing offers no independent verification of what happens to user data or how long it is retained.
Their conclusion: if strict privacy matters, local open-source models running offline on your own hardware are the safer choice.
