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

Google wants its AI to see all the photos of "you and your loved ones." Billions of users must now decide.

Kinda creepy. I was about to migrate to Immich, fortunately I'm not in the US, so I don't get that update yet. It does seem like a lost battle, anyway :( Even if I migrate to a privacy-respecting FOSS solution, my friends, family, acquaintances and random people around me will not (well, some may). I will still be featured in their photos out of my control.

They've FA and now going to FO as soon as the governments destabilize enough for them to track down dissidents and punish political opponents. Everyone will be blackmailed and lick boots because Aunt Linda thought her texts to the neighbor about your secrets were private. In my country I hear they now want federal surveillance in cars starting in 2027. Not sure if it is true. If so, I'm done y'all.
