You actually turned off geminis ability to serve YOU. You never turned off Gemini itself. Google won’t allow that. It’s still running in the background send your data to Google and its advertising partners. Google has publicly stated this is the intended design and they will not allow turning that off.
No. They provided me a nice little button that allows me to disable Gemini, and they have allowed me to opt out of any usage. So again. Show me that it is still active after I have disabled it.
Proton claims that even if you turn everything off, it will still watch in the background because Google is replacing assistant with Gemini. That still hasn’t happened on my phone. I can still use the regular Google assistant, but I feel like I’m not smart enough to evaluate the claims to know whether it is really running on my phone or not.
Proton also has a profit motive in making people upset with Google, so I don’t know.

Typical redditor response, you’re in the wrong community friend. Using deflection instead of constructive discussion. Your kind are no better than MAGA people.
Let’s say I install a button on your car that flips from “broken” to “fixed” my itself. Anytime you complain something is wrong, I flip that switch to “fixed.” That doesn’t change anything. The switch just tells other things to do something. It doesn’t enforce anything. It’s basically telling Google whether you want it or not, not actually obeying you.
Cute. You assert you are right by ignoring my point completely. I gave an example where a switch that does nothing could be used to convince you it did something. You basically said “nuh-uh”.
I have a switch that turns off my car when I push it. I push it, it does exactly what I ask. There done. My scenario is more real then your made up one.

Show me.
I don’t have to show you. Google, the people who made the fucking OS, told you that’s how this works!

I was curious so I searched. This is the best info I could find.

It’s true profit can benefit from people being mad at Google but abandoning Google services doesn’t automatically make you a proton user either.

Sure buddy. You believe what you want. I’ll believe the programming.

You made up a scenario. Here’s one
I have a switch that turns off my car when I push it. I push it, it does exactly what I ask. There done. My scenario is more real then your made up one.
again, you didnt counter, you just said “nuh-uh”
I dont mind not getting the last word but that seems important to you and I’m petty so guess how this is going to go?
What programming? Code related to turning off Gemini is not publicly available. You’re blindly trusting Google engineers.
