Google won't scan my private photos. Neither do I have Android (nor iOS) on my phone, nor do I use Gmail and certainly not Google Photos.

They are, by they also might, but they are.

Always assume Google will scan whatever you store or access through them for advertisement targeting.
I would have to be crazy enough to use google photos for them to scan mine.
corporate dystopian move #7368945 aside, I have to wonder what the ROI on this would actually be

i assumed they already did that as they listen to us and obvs track everything we click or pause n look at

I was about to move all my photos to Proton, and then... I guess it's a vps and Immich after all that. Sheesh.

I kinda assumed it already did, so I stopped using Google photos, now it's time to exit google drive as well. The only transition I think might be hard for me is Gmail and maybe Keep, but I'll figure something out
replies:
LMAO. No they won’t.

if they scan racey photos, it will be porn ads?

When I started getting personalized ads for topics I had just spoken out loud about, that's when I realized the water was already boiling 🐸
