Not doubting that they have a comprehensive dossier, but that seems like an exaggeration to me. How did you come up with that figure?

- ljf 6y agoNo idea where that figure is from, but Google photos must have about 100 to 200 gb of photos and videos I've taken, plus the meta data - and I am not an avid photographer. Fb will then have another chunk, in the UK they used to also have an auto photo backup service at one point but I don't think I used it for long. Assuming the meta data they have on me won't be that big, but who knows - all my search and other data in the last 13 years will come to a fair size - but would guess that would be more 10s of gb - total finger in the air.
- gambiting 6y agoYeah I get a full Google data dump every 3 months and it's about 350GB at the moment. Most of it is photos, but still.
- thih9 6y agoWith advances in AI and digital image analysis, I'd guess that long term these photos could provide lots of information too. Especially if google attempted to extract information from aggregated media of all users. Very offtopic, there's a sci-fi novella, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Green_Leopard_Plague https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Green_Leopard_Plague , where one of the plot elements is a search for information through old photos and movies.
