Organizings sharing photos easy,
but are you giving the tech
giant more than you think
will check out the features
uses photos toe, build a map
showing everywhere youve been
PETE Kirk, the Cyberguy with
what you need to know with the
segment
I opened up my photo found it.
It is scary. I have need to
delete it now.
How do I do it?
Thank you good morning
will PETE Jedediah
Jedediah youre up to the
ceiling like I am
Jedediah. Yes
talking about this. What PETE
did you want to see what Google
is doing with your photos?
We know they track us.
They want to know our ever move,
but they capitalize on that,
but come on. You want to turn
the faucet off.
First, you want to check to see
how your google photo settings
are done inside
so go launch your Google photos
app and then you look on the
bottom bar and tap search
and under places section tap
the view all and in that places
section it is going to show
you. This is wild. All of the
places you have taken a photo
hey seems cool, but imagine if
somebody else gets this
information when you were there
exactly what photo was taken
and you can broaden out to see
the entire country
first. This is weather map.
No, this is a privacy storm
about to hit us, God forbid
something get ahold of the data.
What is the owe solution?
Disable the photos, map feature
log on to Google maps.
Go to the timeline,
then manage the location,
history
youre going to see the activity
controls page come up,
and then you, you see this
location history. There is a
little slider bar there, thats
blue,
if it is on,
if you dont, want this stuff on
a map for anyone to see that can
get into your account, turn it
off. So it turns gray.
There is auto delete option. You
can set a period of time for
location data to expire.
Something to keep in mind here
is that it may turn it off. For
you me someone you share it
off, but it will not turn it off
to Google.
They will continue to monitor
your location,
hey. That is the tradeoff we got
into long ago when nobody was
keeping their eye on big tech.
Now they have a big control of
our lives.
Cyberguy dot com will walk you
through the steps online. At my
blog and post a video how it
works.
It is worth doing
kind of cool to see the map
you go. What if somebody else
has this? What if somebody else
had the data?
What if a judge said you have to
turn over the map and tell
whatever narrative whatever
somebody else wants to tell of
your life
PETE could prove youre
innocent.
I was there at that. Time
could cut either waive
through
will feels like we lost
already
just unplug
Jedediah its scary.
It is scary, curt. As you know, I
wrote a whole book shameless
plug. Do not disturb
you have to opt out of this
stuff
people. Dont know this is
happening.
You already opted in.
You have to opt out.
This is not the first time it
happened.
This is terrifying
regardless. Thanks for the info.
