OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger lashed out at Google, sparking a controversy over the Gemini user ban..
A new controversy has erupted in the AI world. OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger has accused Google of being ruthless. Google has reportedly blocked access for some Gemini Pro users. Google claims this action was taken to prevent alleged misuse of the AntiGravity tool. This development has raised a significant question: whether tech companies can unilaterally block users' access to AI.
Google's Action Against OpenClaw Users
According to reports, Google restricted the access of Gemini Pro users who were using the AntiGravity tool through OpenClaw. AntiGravity is an AI-based tool that helps users write software even without a coding background. Although this action applied to a limited number of users, it has intensified the debate about control and user rights on AI platforms, especially as AI tools are becoming increasingly integral to everyday life.
Peter Steinberger Calls Google Ruthless
Peter Steinberger, the creator of OpenClaw, strongly criticized Google on the social media platform X. He advised developers to be cautious when using AntiGravity and hinted that OpenClaw support could be withdrawn. Steinberger also stated that other AI companies, such as Anthropic, communicate better about issues. His statement has sparked a new debate within the developer community.
Google's Response: Preventing Abuse Was Necessary
Google clarified a few hours later, stating that a significant increase in malicious usage of the AntiGravity backend had been observed. According to the company, this was affecting the quality of service, so access to suspicious users had to be quickly disabled. Google claims its action was to keep the platform safe and reliable. This controversy is currently intensifying the debate over platform control versus user freedom in the AI ecosystem.
