Google wants its AI to see all the photos of "you and your loved ones." Billions of users must now decide.

Kinda creepy. I was about to migrate to Immich, fortunately I'm not in the US, so I don't get that update yet. It does seem like a lost battle, anyway :( Even if I migrate to a privacy-respecting FOSS solution, my friends, family, acquaintances and random people around me will not (well, some may). I will still be featured in their photos out of my control.

Google's been doing that for ages. The thing that finally got me to pull the trigger on GrapheneOS last year was my Pixel telling me I had "over 8GB of memes" on my phone and asked if I wanted to clean up my storage.
