BREAKING UP ๐ WITH GOOGLE AND ICLOUD PHOTOS
โGoogle and Apple recently changed some rules on your photos.
โApple will start checking photos you share by public link (iOS 27.3, coming in December), and say stuff shared that way is no longer end-to-end encrypted. (via MacRumors)
โThen Google quietly updated its privacy policy, saying that if you turn on Personal Intelligence, your Gmail, Drive, and Photos data can be used to target ads. (via 9to5Google)
โAs Ente (a photo management alternative to those two big tech giants) said it in a recent email, "privacy is just a setting for them, and settings change." Very true!
โEnte Photos is a private, hosted home for your photos

โSo hey - join us Monday, November 30th to figure out what it takes to move your photo library somewhere else, why it feels so hard, and then do this with other people live on this 90 minute hang session.
โThis isn't a workshop, but a focused Zoom hang where we talk about alternatives, how to untangle ourselves from big tech, and work together in real time testing out services like Ente (or whichever tool you want to you) to manage our photo libraries!
