The complaint is a farce.
> Google Photos app, which allows people to search for photos they took of a particular person;
All Google Photos does is group pictures by matching faces in pics to allow you to click on a face and lookup all pictures which have that face. It does not "recognize" who the picture belongs to.
> Google’s Nest camera, which can send alerts when it recognizes (or fails to recognize) a visitor at the door;
All the processing happens on the device locally. It will only "recognize" by name if you name a face. This is a premium feature and the tagged names are wiped when you stop the premium subscription.
> voice-activated Google Assistant, which can learn to recognize up to six users’ voices to give them personalized answers to their questions.
Users have to enroll their voice to access this feature.
- shadowgovt 4y agoIt might not be the case the complaint is a farce as per the law. On the other hand, it might be the case Texas passed an ill-thought-out "Don't collect biometric data" law that makes it illegal to do anything interesting with privately-taken photographs for personal use without the express consent of every individual in every photograph.
