Google auto opted in *every* paying Google Workspace user to Gemini. Also adding a nice increase in price, even though no one opted into it.
You cannot turn off / opt out.
Except... if you open a support ticket.
Only then does Google enable the setting to turn it off!

I love that Apple is trying to do privacy-related services, but this just appeared at the bottom of my Settings screen over the holiday break when I wasn’t paying attention. It sends data about my private photos to Apple.
