Yes. The issue is I gave it permission to access my photos so I could add a review (for the post office). But weeks later it was going through my photos without my permission. It must have either recognized a popular statue or building, or used the exif data to determine the location. From there it decided to interrupt my day and make a suggestion based on some algorithm. Maybe it noticed I go to the park a lot and thought I should review that place.
Whatever, I don't care. I could infer now that my entire photo library has been uploaded to google and is in some database somewhere. Or that every picture has been scraped for location data and recognizable landmarks, and all of that data is somewhere on google.
Whatever it is, I'm freaking disgusted.
- shadowgovt 6y agoThat visceral response is on a sliding scale and different people have different responses. That's one of the tough things about designing software for mass consumption; people actually love that feature too (they have the data to know, both through use of the feature and user testimonial). Seeking the balance point is an ongoing process.
