Google collects face data now – what it means and how to opt out

you are perfectly free to tell anyone whose house you're going to that you will not go anywhere that has a doorbell camera.

Doorbell cameras give perfectly adequate views of many places other than people's porches.

If Google wants to put a data-collecting robot on the street with a big sign reading "We're scanning your face to sell to advertisers!" there's nothing I can do about it, but at least it's honest.

Google using Nest cameras to scan the activities of people just walking down a nearby street is not cool.

I believe OP was being sarcastic. We're all on team "FOH Nest" in this thread so far.

Confirmed. I was hoping phrases like "market-guided utopia" would give it away, but I do realize Poe's law can make it hard.

That, and I was trying to read while on a train, so my attention wasn't fully on the task at hand.
