I get not wanting your data used for advertising and NSA.
But I don't understand why people intentionally give their photos to a system for processing, apparently happily let it be used for advertising and government surveillance, but then get upset when it's used for features. You're rely happier with everyone spying on you and pretending they aren't?
- sixothree 6y agoI uploaded one photo to Google Maps. It looked through all of my photos then decided a different photo was was a good candidate for "sharing". It was a surprise for me since I forgot I left access to my photos on. iOS 14 resolves this by letting you choose which photos you allow an application to have access to. This cannot come any sooner because that was disturbing. edit: I shared the original photo because I believe in helping other people.
- sixothree 6y agoTo be clear here. I didn't give _all of my photos_ to Google. It was presented to me as a user that I was uploading a single photo. Google then took liberties with that permission to an extreme. And it was personally revolting to me. I cannot overstate my absolute disgust with what happened there.
