Navigating Google’s Maze: A Candid Look at Data Security and AI Training
As digital privacy becomes a hot topic, I recently embarked on a quest to transfer my content from Google, especially photos. Here’s what I found:
- Challenges of Google Takeout: Downloading nearly 500 zip folders packed with scrambled metadata was no easy ride.
- Concerns About AI: I’m worried my personal photos could be used to train AI models. There’s a looming fear that biased images of myself and my loved ones might surface.
- Trust in Cloud Storage: Google was my sole source for personal photos, making data sovereignty crucial. But should I trust them moving forward?
Key Questions:
- Are companies like Google likely to scan personal files for training data?
- Can they change privacy policies without notice?
I’m looking for advice on securely backing up offline rather than jumping to another platform. Have you navigated this? Let’s share insights!
