The people in the photographs are not the people taking the photographs nor are they the people uploading the photographs to Google. This isn't groundbreaking territory here; this is how photographs have worked for 150+ years. Google can go and ask you for permission to scan your face for its services and you can agree. But then you go and upload a photo with faces that are clearly not you. And Google goes ahead and scans them anyway. Those other people didn't get to choose; nobody asked them. So yes, they were forced into the program.
