Ask HN: Why does Google word privacy settings like you agree even when off?

15 matesz 11 9/3/2025, 3:24:52 PM

Found this confusing language in personal Gmail account update today.

The intro paragraph says "You agree to let Google Workspace use your Workspace content and activity to personalize your experience across Workspace". And only then they present with the options - whether to turn the special features on or off.

It reads like you're agreeing to the data use regardless of whether you actually enable the features. The detailed documentation suggests data is only used when features are enabled, but that opening sentence creates blanket consent language.

Is this intentionally misleading UX copy, or just sloppy writing that creates legal ambiguity?

At this stage I have no idea what Google is or isn't using for what purpose. Which presumably is the point.

Thankfully all my stuff is on own domains so will just move it to a more respectable provider

Because they don't make money if you have decent privacy settings.

I'm reminded of video games where an NPC asks "Will you undertake this perilous quest?" or whatever, and the available responses are "Yes" and "Sure".

> Google began by unilaterally declaring that the world wide web was its to take for its search engine. Surveillance capitalism originated in a second declaration that claimed our private experience for its revenues that flow from telling and selling our fortunes to other businesses. In both cases, it took without asking

Because assault culture is alive and well at Google and they’d like to gaslight you into consent.

youngtaff · 3h ago

Based on other settings in Chrome, Android etc I think they’re written to be deliberately unclear

All these things will have been through a legal review so I don’t think it’s carelessness

watwut · 3h ago

So that you accidentally agree due to being confused. It was deliberately worded that way.

Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?

Sorry for the jab but I couldn't decode the question here.

MarkusQ · 2h ago

I had the same issue, which is somewhat ironic given the topic. Reading the body text and then revisiting the headline:

"Why does Google word their privacy settings in a way that makes it sound like you are agreeing to let them harvest your data regardless of which option you select?"

cwmoore · 1h ago

I understand it is confusing and obfuscated.

“Default on, or opt-out” is not news.

IAmBroom · 2h ago

Ignore the downvotes. It wasn't a syntactic headline.
