Incognito AI Chats Exposed

A lawsuit alleges Perplexity routinely shared entire chat sessions — including follow-up prompts and personally identifiable information — with third parties like Google and Meta, even when users enabled an 'Incognito' mode. Developer‑tool evidence and complaint language claim URLs exposing conversations and identifiers were created for non‑subscribed users and that paid users' emails were included. — If true, this pattern undermines trust in AI assistants, invites enforcement actions, and strengthens calls for transparency, technical attestations, and privacy regulation for conversational AI.
