What to know

  • Claim originates from a single self-published Medium post with no Google statement or independent verification in the available material.
  • The author alleges two distinct problems: fake data-deletion confirmations in Google AI Studio, and an automatic ban from Google's Vulnerability Reward Program moments after reporting the flaw.
  • The story has only modest traction so far (roughly 30 points across duplicate Hacker News submissions), with no follow-up reporting or corroboration evident yet.
