Workspace has published policies about how the customer's data may be used: https://support.google.com/a/answer/15706919

> Your content is not used for any other customers. Your content is not human reviewed or used for Generative AI model training outside your domain without permission.

And I think the default assumption has to be that those policies are actually followed. If you think they aren't, the burden of proof is on you to show they aren't.

What the OP of that comment and yourself have missed is that Google is not trustworthy enough to give it permission, which the user you're responding to pretty much suggested as a solution (Google should be trustworthy to be given a one-off permission).

The amount of times Google has been caught out doing things they shouldn't be means that no, no one has to prove that it's a reasonable assumption that Google follows policies, not even their own.

It's for you to prove that they can be trusted (good luck with that!).

In that case what do you care if you click yes or no? If you don't trust Google to abide by their own terms what makes you think they'll respect your "no"? Surely at that level of trust you would just stop using their product?
