Anyone know if this is happening outside the US and if it is whether it's happening inside the EU?
I live in Finland using Android on a Nokia and I can switch Gemini off completely and choose to use the old Google Assistant instead. It did initially appear out of nowhere when they patched it in, but I could immediately turn it off with the same prompt that the other guy also got.
If it's unavoidable it seems to be an US only thing atm.
