Hi folks,
Thank you for all the feedback, greatly appreciated.
I read an article yesterday which said that in the same way that
GMail
parses email content for AI learning and targeting ads, that Google
cloud storage may also index content, including facial
recognition, with
any photo's, for behaviour learning and targeted ads.
That's one of the reasons I'm not keen to store data on Google
cloud.
They're on a need-to-know basis with my activities.
Does anyone know if Microsoft, AWS or other providers may allow
themselves access to stored files?
