    Further reason to avoid google’s shit like the fuckin plague.

    The videos are never associated with a user’s identity and are deleted after the verification process. Audio is never recorded.

    My fat fucking ass do any of this. Google is just as data hungry as everyone else, they will absolutely save it, and feed it to their AI to enhance their ability to generate realistic people.

    Are webcams that ubiquitous nowadays? My monitors never had one, and I could never be arsed to buy an external one, but perhaps I’m the weird outlier here.

      You’re an outlier simply by being a desktop computer user instead of a laptop, phone, or tablet user.

    I don’t have a child, but if I a did have one, and they walked naked in front of the webcam, could I go after Google for CP?

      Iirc child nudity isn’t enough for something to be considered porn. It has to be gratuitous. Not sure if that is the same for transmitting online or not.

      It’s fakin weird by today’s standards though and is probably handled very differently from one place to another

        Child nudity, even if its medically necessary, is 100% enough for google to delete everything you have with them and to call the police on you, labeling you a pedophile.

        Because its already happened

    Do Google employees actually do anything other than sit around thinking of ways to make things worse? In the last few years we’ve had web environment integrity (thankfully that one seems to have been dropped), gutting the AOSP to the point where it’s practically unusable on its own, Android developer verification, play integrity, QR code captchas and now this

      If I have to do this to log into my email one last time as I’m migrating out, I will write off all emails there as lost. If my phone makes me do it to unlock it, I will go out and by an iPhone on the spot. That makes me want to puke typing that out, because I hate iPhones, but I’ll do it.

          I signed up for tuta, but have yet to actually migrate. I’ve been on Gmail for over 20 years, so it’s tough to get everything moved over as far as having used that for accounts.
