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

Google confirms its latest update can scan all your photos to “use actual images of you and your loved ones” in AI image generation. That means Gemini seeing who you know and what you do. You likely have tens or hundreds of thousands of photos. They’re all exposed if you update.

      from what I understood, you have to opt in. so by default, Gemini will not have access to your gallery. It’s just matter of time tho when will Google force this upon it’s users imo

      uninstall it or uninstall all app updates and nuke the app data, then switch to local storage and fossify gallery or something

      or throw out your phone and buy a fairphone or a phone compatible with grapheneOS
