rallyjem (@rallyjem) reportedAugust 2022. Andrew Tate wakes up to a BBC article calling him the most dangerous man on the internet. He puts the phone down and goes to make coffee. Then he opens his own phone. "Your Apple ID is signed out." That's weird. Clicks Twitter — signed out. Clicks WhatsApp — deleted. Instagram — signed out. Gmail — signed out. "They pressed a button and wiped every single thing from my phone. The Apple ID itself, so I couldn't download apps. And every single application was logged out." Not just socials. Everything. "Uber, Airbnb, Skype, Coinbase, all of my bank accounts. Everything was frozen. Everything was gone. My entire phone just became a brick." He calls a friend from his girlfriend's phone. One question: how is this even possible? "They put you on a terror watch list. They can only do that if you're on a terror watch list." Pause on that for a second. Not a criminal watchlist. Not a fraud flag. Terror. The same designation built for people who blow things up. Applied to a man whose weapon was a Discord server with 271,000 paying students and 28,000 fan accounts reposting his clips. The part he can't get past isn't the ban. Other people had been banned before him — Alex Jones, Nick Fuentes. They disappeared. The algorithm buried them and the internet moved on. He didn't disappear. The 28,000 fan pages just kept posting. He got bigger. And that was the problem. "First, they try and shut you up. Second, they try and put you in jail. Third, they try and kill you." He'd said that line in dozens of podcasts before any of it happened. It sounded like bravado at the time. Then step one arrived in a single morning, disguised as a software update, and the phone in his hand turned into evidence that steps two and three were already on the schedule. He filmed his final message that day. Sat in a chair and told the internet he was retiring. He wasn't.

Keisuke (@KeisukeIshikawa) reportedManus just made its AI agent free until August 25 no credit card, no phone number. And this isn't a stripped-down chatbot trial. You can give it an actual job and leave: > research dozens of sources in parallel > browse websites and complete multi-step workflows > write, run, and debug code > analyze Excel sheets and PDFs > edit images and work with files > connect Gmail, Slack, GitHub and other services schedule tasks to run automatically It plans the steps itself, executes them, checks the result, and you can watch the agent working in real time. This is probably the best time to test the question everyone keeps arguing about: can an AI agent actually replace hours of browser + spreadsheet + research work, or does it still need babysitting every five minutes? Until August 25, finding out costs nothing.

Nick Kramer (@Nick_Kramer91) reportedI still see people copy something from an email, open another app, create a task, paste the context, attach the file and then go back to Gmail. We have incredibly capable AI now. Yet removing these five boring steps would probably improve quite a few workdays more than another clever chatbot feature. Productivity software still has plenty of ordinary problems left to solve.

Material Security (@material_sec) reported@antgrasso The copy-paste case is the visible half of shadow AI. The other half is tools that get connected via OAuth instead of a browser tab. Someone runs a Google sign-in prompt for an AI tool and approves the Drive or Gmail scopes it asks for on the way through, in about two seconds, because the consent screen looks like every other login. That one doesn't require anyone to paste anything sensitive anywhere. The access is just sitting there, working quietly, and most governance conversations about shadow AI don't include it because it doesn't look like the classic story of an employee pasting something into ChatGPT.

Sa'id Adam (@thesaidadam) reportedFinally, an email address change that doesn’t mean starting your digital life over. Google is fixing a surprisingly annoying problem. If you’ve had the same Gmail address since you were a teenager, this matters. 👀

David C Shaheen (@davidcshaheen) reported@Google I have a complaint. Many times, if not all the time, when I click links inside of @gmail , I've noticed that it does not go directly to the link address. It does a Google search for the link address. This is usually not an issue, though I wonder why you guys do this.

BananaBunnz (@BanannaBunnz) reportedI NEED HELP, Others are witnessing the same problem! @TeamYouTube @Google @gmail On August 9th, someone gained unauthorized access to my Google account, which is connected to my YouTube channel, social media accounts, and school-related emails. After gaining access, the individual signed me out of my account and made themselves the "parent" of my Google account through Family Link, while making my account a "child" account. Because of this, I am now being told that I need authorization from the "parent" account in order to access or recover my own account. The problem is that the parent account is controlled by the individual who hacked me. I did not create or authorize this Family Link relationship. The hacker was also able to access the phone number associated with my Google account. Since the attack, they have repeatedly called and texted me, threatening to compromise my information, accounts, and data unless I pay them $500. I have attempted to resolve this through Gmail and Google's support resources, but I have been unable to reach an actual support representative. The resources I have found primarily direct me to account recovery. Unfortunately, I cannot complete the recovery process because my account is now classified as a "child" account and requires approval from the unauthorized "parent" account controlled by the hacker. I have also attempted to use YouTube's account and channel recovery options, but I am encountering the same issue. Because my Google account is now considered a child account, I cannot properly access or recover my YouTube channel without authorization from the account controlled by the hacker. At this point, I am at a complete loss as to what I am supposed to do. I have exhausted the automated recovery options and repeatedly encountered the same problem: the system directs me to a recovery process that I cannot complete because of an unauthorized Family Link relationship created during the hack. I am asking for this situation to be escalated to an actual human support representative who can investigate the unauthorized Family Link connection, verify that I am the legitimate owner of the account, and help me regain access to my Google account and YouTube channel. I am especially concerned because I have seen other content creators experience similar situations and lose access to their accounts and channels. I have also had multiple friends now fall for the SAME hack since they believe it is ME talking through MY hacked email. I do not want to lose years of work and content simply because the recovery system cannot account for a hacker taking control of an account and then placing it under their own Family Link supervision. I would greatly appreciate any assistance, escalation, or direction toward someone who can actually investigate this situation. I am willing to provide any information or verification necessary to establish that I am the legitimate owner of the account. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I genuinely appreciate any help you can provide.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedSlow inboxes don't lose leads. They lose deals. Threadmark watches Gmail and Microsoft 365, drafts every reply in your voice, and queues it for a one-tap send after a quick skim. Same-hour replies without switching mail clients. Live soon.

Explored Fiction (@ExploredFiction) reported@BurleighWilson Yeah and gmail has never asked me either. How much garbage do you store in your Yahoo Drive? Oh nothing because it's not a thing and therefore your storage isn't full from garbage? You fill your Google drive up then cry you ran out of space? Self inflicted problem.

atis (@atisonchain) reported@panosmek social logins and passkeys tied to email accounts aren't immune either as 48 mil Gmail credentials leaked in January 2026 there could be millions of solutions to these issues, but email accounts are not one of them tbf no method where keys touch the internet can be a solution

LUKSONTEACH (@lukman4838) reported7/ Then there is Google Drive Most people don’t just have information in one place. We have documents in Drive. Messages in Gmail. Events in Calendar. Data in Sheets. Notes in Notion. The problem isn’t necessarily a lack of information. The problem is that the information is fragmented. Mira’s connector approach attempts to reduce that fragmentation.

Harshil Tomar (@Hartdrawss) reportedhow to plan a full AI product without the chaos (wayfinder by @mattpocockuk) in <30 Steps : 1. start with one concrete outcome, not a vague idea 2. weak: "build an AI sales tool". clear: "founder connects gmail, agent finds qualified convos, drafts follow ups, asks approval before sending" 3. that one sentence becomes the filter for every decision after it 4. most vibe coded builds skip this and start typing prompts immediately 5. 3 days in the database model has already changed twice 6. onboarding has 4 different half built versions 7. the agent has no clear boundaries on what it can and cant do 8. frontend is stuck waiting on backend decisions that were never made 9. claude ends up rewriting code it shipped yesterday 10. wayfinder's fix: work backwards from the destination and list every open question blocking it 11. for an AI product that means asking what data the agent can access 12. where does company context actually live 13. what can the agent execute without a human in the loop 14. how does a user inspect the agent's reasoning after the fact 15. how do retries and failures get handled 16. what counts toward paid usage 17. each open question becomes a ticket instead of a random note in a doc somewhere 18. some tickets block 5 others sitting behind them 19. example: you need to define agent access before you can design approvals, logs, or permissions 20. wayfinder surfaces which questions can actually be solved right now 21. that's the frontier. claude gets one clear next decision instead of grabbing the easiest feature in the repo 22. every ticket gets tagged HITL or AFK 23. HITL is founder judgement or a real business tradeoff, pricing lives here 24. AFK is research claude can run alone off docs, APIs, the codebase, oauth limits live here 25. one session resolves one decision and updates the map. nothing more 26. resolving gmail scopes usually reveals the approval rules 27. approval rules reveal the activity log 28. the activity log reveals the database model 29. claude keeps the reasoning attached to each decision so the next session isnt guessing why something was built that way 30. once the fog clears run /to-spec then /to-tickets and split remaining work into things agents can run in parallel Hope this helps !

Dr Aniruddha Malpani, MD (@malpani) reported@GeminiApp @gmail Peak 2026: Google's own AI can't fix Google's own email, so you outsource the repair to a rival. Like calling a plumber who hands you a competitor's card to fix his own pipes.
