ByteDance's AI programming tool, Trae IDE, is involved in a data privacy controversy. Developers found that even after disabling telemetry, the tool continued to upload data, and there was a remote-activatable hot update mechanism. The official response stated that only non-sensitive statistical data and performance metrics are collected for product optimization, and emphasized compliance with data protection regulations. However, users questioned the transparency of the data encryption mechanism and noted that the privacy policy does not clearly list the specific types of data collected. The team explained that the telemetry mechanism is independent from VSCode, and that only the native module was disabled, hoping to ease user concerns.

Google recently introduced a new strategy that allows the Gemini AI assistant to access third-party applications such as WhatsApp, raising privacy concerns. Even if users disable interaction permissions, Gemini can still access some application data, which will be reviewed by humans and retained for 72 hours. Although an option to disable it is provided, the instructions are unclear, making it difficult for users to confirm whether the permission has been successfully disabled. Experts have criticized this strategy as similar to Microsoft's forced bundling of IE, and suggest uninstalling Gemini via the command line, although the process is complex. This incident highlights the challenges faced by tech companies.
