can someone explain what this website whats to proof? Why would I upload my private images to some website? would that be as stupid as using google photo in the first place?
Obviously, don't upload any photos to the demo site that you wouldn't want shared. That's pretty basic internet 101. The point is to demonstrate the amount and types of information Google infers from its users' data. So feed it a pic you don't care about, or try with the supplied images.
It was made by the creator of ente which is a free (5 GB) open source alternative to Google Photos. There are paid plans for more storage.
The creator was a Google developer who left after he found out Google was helping the US military train drones with AI.
Yeah I’m not sure how trustworthy it is either.
Ente is trying to be an end to end encrypted version of GooglePhotos.
