Ya. I'm sorry for you.

Problem is, even if you delete the Images, Google has already scraped them for info on you and used your Google account and phone number to tie it all together to further its data aggregation profile on you.

Yes, and they and apple keep saying it's all done locally. Because trust me bro!

Sorry for your shitty situation.

Try this. No root needed. I'm pretty much google free on FP5 (and others).

Removes most google apps and services.

Also try not to ever sign into google on your phone directly. Use Aurora Store, DAVX, Thunderbird etc.

I'm sorry. There's really no way to undo this. Grieving and and moving on is the only option, and I am not being sarcastic. If my privacy was violated like that by google, I would be very upset and would grieve. Even if you complain, they won't remove it from AI training or whatever they intend to do, even if they lie and say they will. Librem 5's have no google in them if you want to switch to something else. FuriLabs also make a Debian smartphone.

Email their data protection officer and the government. They may get fined hundreds of millions of dollars for this

Event like this is what got me radicalized

Where's the article to this story?

What proof do you have that you in fact pressed no ?

Also, didn't you press I agree to anything that gives google indemnity against any of this when you first turned on the phone ?

I think you would need a complete video recording from fresh firmware wipe to the action you describe happening, to establish it is or isn't happening.

Google will have make sure that proving them in the wrong takes a whole lot of effort

google photos goes omnom

I feel for you.

training ai on your photo's without even asking. wankers

I have just copied my elderly friends 2000 photos from google photos to my desktop, then deleted all of them from her phone. Had to do it with my browser, they only allow you to delete 30 photos at a time on the phone. tossers.

Installed droid-ify, installed lawnchair, fossify gallery, fossify messages, fossify contacts. perfect.

imported her photos back on to her phone:

Intentionally painful but its done.

bring on ADB, I have deleted everything with a G in it.

first one: I wrote a simple little bash script for these:

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.chrome

okgoogle, xgoogle, Gmail, calender, Calendar Sync, videos, googlequicksearchbox, youtube, music, Google Contacts Sync, googleassistant, Google Digital Well Being App, Google Duo, Google Pay, google photos and Google Drive with adb so its doesnt happen again.

This poor women is 84, WTF does she know about modern tech, google are tossers

I would get rid of fairphone rom and install another rom:

unlock your bootloader. easy guide from Fairphone.

then install lineage or E/os custom rom

https://doc.e.foundation/devices/FP5

that's why i straight up delete proprietary corporate apps now whenever possible, even if i don't use them.

they WILL do what they want unprompted, then make it difficult to undo.

It's kinda a pain to use 'cause so many apps rely on Google services, so those need to be replaced with alternatives, but e/OS is installable and is supported by Fairphone

Have some dic pics that were uploaded that i sent to my gf when we started dating and i'm glad i didn't delete them because now they have to look at my junk every time they decide to go snooping around where they shouldn't.

Use /e/OS officially supported on fair phone 5

I got sick of GP when they announced AI learning on user photos (or actually that's just the last straw). I use a combination of these two apps now:
