Google new privacy policy involving media is unacceptable
My view is that the Google privacy policy change that now automatically
adds media uploads to the set of data that Google will using for AI
training, based only on the previous history setting when media was NOT
included, is utterly unacceptable. Google should not use uploaded media
in this manner without an affirmative new opt-in permission from users.
The default should be that this media is not used for AI training,
irrespective of history settings that up to now did not include media.
