Q: Why is the Strait of Hormuz still closed? Answer by the President of the U.S. of A.:
“They came to us and they said, ‘We will agree to open the strait.’ And all my people were happy, except me. I said, ‘Wait a minute, if we open the strait, that means they’re gonna make $500 million a day.’ I don’t want them to make $500 million a day until they settle this thing. So I’m the one who kept it closed.“

Google is Tracking Your Life – Photo Cloud Feeding AI System | Arm
This is not a minor tweak to a photo app, but a structural shift in how data is harvested and understood, because every image you have ever taken now becomes part of a living model that attempts to understand who you are, who you associate with, where you go, and how you live your life. What was once private into something continuously processed and categorized.
OPT-OUT: Go to myaccount.google.com and begin by turning off every tracking and personalization setting available, because leaving even one active continues to feed the system. Do not permit any form of “personalization,” as that is simply the mechanism used to justify data collection across services. Google is not limited to your photos, it tracks your location through Maps and embedded photo metadata, it records your browsing history, and it logs every video viewed and every search made, all of which are combined into a single behavioral profile. It is not enough to disable these settings going forward, since the historical data remains intact, so you must also go back and delete all prior activity to reduce what has already been collected.
