I have a load of pirated porn movies that I leave in a folder that isn't backed up on Google because they take up space, but recently I forgot to move some out of Downloads and the face detection algorithm thought some of those actors were my ex from three years ago.

@fesshole google runs automatic face detectors on their backup service? Holy fucking shit thats a privacy invasion.

@celesteh @fesshole any user files stored on Google‘s (or Microsoft‘s) servers get scanned. If you want to protect your privacy, don‘t use cloud services.

If you don't want your privacy invaded, organise with other consumers to push for regulatory changes.

"Just don't use it" isn't working.

@celesteh @fesshole „don‘t use it“ works extremely well for me, and prevents the privacy invasion you mentioned above.
