PSA: Google Gemini’s privacy settings are deceptive and fundamentally broken

I just discovered something absolutely unacceptable about Google Gemini’s privacy model, and I’m shocked this isn’t getting more attention.

There is literally no way to keep your chat history private. Your only two options are:

  1. Keep history ON - Google employees can review ALL your chats, images, and prompts. This is the default setting, even for paying Pro users.

  2. Turn history OFF - You lose access to your own chat history entirely.

But here’s the real kicker: Even if you disable history now, anything previously reviewed by Google employees is permanently retained with no option to delete it.

So you can’t have private chat history that’s actually private. You either give Google employees access to review everything you’ve ever typed, or you get nothing.

This is a fundamental privacy violation that Google conveniently doesn’t disclose upfront. How is this legal? Why aren’t they required to offer a “save for me only” option like literally every other chat application?

If you value your privacy at all, you need to know what you’re agreeing to when you use Gemini.

The "Rule of 390" is completely broken in today's options market. It needs to change to Fills Only

Can someone make sure this gets to the right people who actually have the influence to change it?

The "Rule of 390" (which designates you as a "Professional Customer" if you average more than 390 orders a day in a month) is completely outdated. Right now, exchanges count every single modification and cancellation toward that limit.

In today’s fast-moving market, if you are trading multi-leg spreads or trying to walk a limit price to get filled, you have to constantly edit or cancel/replace your orders just to keep up with the shifting underlying asset or market makers. If you run a simple script or just active manual adjustments, you can hit that 390 limit in a heartbeat without actually executing more than a handful of trades.

It makes zero sense that cancellations and edits count toward a metric that strips you of retail priority. The rule should strictly be based on fills only. If an order isn't executing, it isn't taking up liquidity or acting like an institutional market maker.

We need the exchanges and regulators to look at modern market structure and update this. If anyone here has compliance channels or institutional ties, please push this up the ladder. It’s actively punishing active retail traders for just trying to get a fair fill.
