I don't think google will explicitly 'deintificate' the data and sell it 'deidentified'. It's more that that kinda data can't really be anonymized. And while I trust google to pay lipservice to the 'anonymizedness' , I don't trust them at all that they won't just feed all that data into their AI training as-is, letting the deidentification happen when someone writes a smart prompt for gemini. As long as they have plausible deniability they don't care.

I don't trust google to do anything out of goodness, they'll do anything they can get away with. Same as all the other big tech firms. Once a firm gets too big it stops having morals.
