So...y'all folks who've done that Google thing where you match your picture with a work of art...you realize that's a way for a search engine to eliminate false matches and make it easier to ID your face, right?

It says quite clearly that it doesn't retain your picture.

I believe giant corporations when they say things like that. Just like I believed the telecommunications companies who said they were protecting privacy but had backdoor access for the NSA.

In the case of Google, there's a whole team that reviews the products and systems for privacy. Job zero is to tell the truth. I'm not going to claim we're perfect (I have certainly broken production w/bugs
), but protecting and respecting users is literally my team's job.2 replies 0 retweets 9 likes -

The problem is that it can be technically "true" but misleading. Is retention of derived training retention of your picture?

The only honest-to-average-user meaning of "we do not retain" is "this is a pure function and has no internal state". And I doubt that's ever true when sites are claiming "we do not retain..."

I think Lea's point is the average user would have no idea what you meant by that.

My point is that they shouldn't have to. Non-retention should be complete & safe to an average user who doesn't understand technical loopholes.
