I can see why OP might not like this. I can also see that, at least on this site, everyone has been saying, "Stop using Google for anything," for a variety of different reasons - many of which boil down to you are the product and they can't be trusted - for about a decade now. So I'm sitting on the fence in some respects.

OTOH it's not really surprising that Google would do something with personal photos that at least some portion of their target market are going to find pretty creepy.
