Deleting photos on SM / the open internet is one thing — what I worry about are all the photos in seemingly private (big tech) cloud storage. Pretty sure Google has quite a few pictures of me, although I personally never uploaded them. I know, that Microsoft got mine, as for a good part of my life I chose OneDrive as a cheap and seemingly secure solution.

Good luck getting your friends and family to explicitly not backup photos you yourself are in.

Shit‘s mad.

    Schools are another one. I don't have kids, but I've heard how hard to impossible it is to avoid big tech surveilence for school kids. Not to mention the school u/l'ing student photos.

    Ed-tech surveilence is out of hand.

    I just had a kids activity thing where the company doing the activity put a line in the SAFETY waiver giving them permission to post photos on social media. So you not only waive your kids safety but also their privacy ffs.

    Same. I didn't u/l a single one. It's all friends, co-workers, family. Neighbors who feel like they should u/l pics of our local neighborhood party to fucking big social media co's.

    Our over-sharing culture is gd insane. I get wanting to share fun things we do in our lives with friends and family. I do NOT get wanting to share with the entire planet and Mark Zuckerberg. Just... why???
