I'm not sure why people think the data is being collected for advertising, as opposed to, say, improving the ground-truth on the Google Maps dataset.
I've contributed some images to the photo request. They end up appearing in Maps as the picture of the establishment.
- JepZ 9y agoYeah, sure the pictures are for maps, but in the end Maps turned into a place where businesses have to be present as it is the de facto location based search engine. At the moment, I am not sure how they are making money with maps, but I find it a little odd that they keep asking to contribute pictures when it clearly shows that they are tracking every movement of you. So something is wrong there (at the very least that they are tracking us all).
