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.

You could tell people that they could get rid of google and their invasive strategies by following a link and they would be like: oof, no thank you.

But in reality it takes some work.
