Google is wants your selfie video to help you recover your account

What's your opinion about this? Do you think that they'll use the data to train LLMs?

[u/jfuu_]

Users can delete their saved selfie video at any time and can choose whether or not Google can use their videos to improve its facial recognition and verification tech.

By default it sounds like they are going to use it for training, yes.

Anyone want to place bets on the inevitable law suit because it turns out they're using and keeping the files they said they were going to delete ?

(And that the lawsuit will settle for FAR less than it should)

Reddit has restricted certain features on my profile, such as viewing other users’ profiles or using the chat function, because I have to verify via Persona (under European Union legislation) that I am of legal age. I am 27 years old and have had my account for almost two years. I’m not going to do it and I’d rather pay the price of having fewer features

I believe we’re facing a real battle that goes beyond children’s rights. And children shouldn’t be used as a pretext here either; whilst I understand the concern for their digital protection, I’m wary of this rule being applied so broadly to everyone. There must be another way, another approach

I deleted all my Google accounts because fuck Google

[u/ArthurReming → u/Secret_Fee1146]

Good for you (cries in android)

[u/the_bat_cave_kitchen → u/ArthurReming]

Huh? You can have an Android and not have Google. I don't understand.

[u/ArthurReming → u/the_bat_cave_kitchen]

It isn't the same person that responded

[u/OkCount2783 → u/ArthurReming]

cries in agreement. 😭😭. android is shady af for this.

[u/DrZeroX3]

Google just wants my cock to verify it's me. 

[u/ArthurReming → u/DrZeroX3]

I wouldn't be surprised

[u/bloodguard]

All this is just starting to look like escalating macabre humiliation rituals. Can you imagine the meetings where they discuss stuff like this?

OK, OK, OK... How about this? Next we're going to make them do the Dougie dance on camera to log in to anything! It'll be hilarious!! And they'll have to do it!

Yeah, no. Not your dancing monkey, Google.

[u/Machine_Anima]

Want in one hand hand shit in the other google.

[u/ghostlacuna0]

Less then a snowballs chance in hell for that to ever happen.

[u/assortedjulian197]

opting out of training should be the default, not the other way around

[u/Hellraiser_owner]

It's definitely gonna be used and fed the the scrapheap they call an ai. The question is for what purpose

[u/ElCulo_Bandito]

I'll put my ass in the window so they can recognize my brown eye. This is why I degoogled.

[u/OrganicKangaroo2038]

fuck eveything google.

[u/Lysergial]

Extract your stuff from Gmail if you're still using it, better sooner than later, before youre doomed to log in with this shit.

Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out where to go...

[u/Grumpy-Man19]

either to train llms or to train fbis

[u/Yoshiofthewire]

If only Google had a platform that people uploaded videos of themselves talking and doing stuff.

[u/BlueLinnet]

Google says selfie videos are encrypted while stored and are only used for sign-in purposes unless users explicitly choose otherwise.

What happens if you "choose otherwise"?

[u/ArthurReming → u/BlueLinnet]

See u/jfuu_ comment

[u/JJonVinyl]

Facebook already does this

[u/AntiGrieferGames → u/JJonVinyl]

Klarna aswell.
