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.

    There are services and websites that literally won't let you change your email, so if you used gmail to sign up, you're stuck with that email.

    Never had a website or service deny an email change in my 25 years of being on the internet. But you can move all the other stuff to a different email and keep the ones you can't change on your gmail. Still a better choice than giving all your data to google.
