Google Starts Scanning All Your Photos As New Update Goes Live (www.forbes.com)

Google confirms its latest update can scan all your photos to “use actual images of you and your loved ones” in AI image generation. That means Gemini seeing who you know and what you do. You likely have tens or hundreds of thousands of photos. They’re all exposed if you update.

Yeah. Because Google would never keep the images anyway.

Yeah, but at least it'll all be outdated and nothing new is added. And hey, maybe in the future we could get laws that force them to delete anything older than a certain date. Would leaving them there be any better?

Easier to ask for the whole internet to be reset in order to destroy all the garbage data that's accumulating at the bottom
