‘Adding insult to injury’: Flight attendants accuse Google of creepy deal to access ‘confidential’ data for AI in Spirit Airlines transaction

Fortune 37 ● 5 sources

The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA objected in US Bankruptcy Court to Google’s $10 million bid to buy Spirit Airlines’ internal digital records, including employee emails, saying the privacy terms protect consumers more than employees. The auction awarded the dataset to Google for $10 million over a $7.5 million offer from Mercor. The dispute seeks to require stronger de-identification/confidentiality safeguards for employee data rather than stop the sale entirely.

Google’s Pixel 10A is a great deal at 15 percent off

The Verge 1 month ago 11

Amazon, Best Buy, and Google Stores are discounting the Google Pixel 10A, noting it launched alongside new Pixel 11 phones but lacks their exclusive camera and AI features. The Pixel 10A is $424 instead of $499, a 15 percent off deal that’s been live since early August. The takeaway is that buyers who don’t need the Pixel 11’s newest features can choose the Pixel 10A for hundreds less.
