Oh look. A privacy breach where identifiable people experienced direct damage: their videos sent to strangers.

And yet, unlike the supposed Jumpshot "scandal" last week, no one in my feed will be up in arms, nor will 200+ ppl lose their jobs as a resulthttps://t.co/WauXRPkJe8
dude this is terrible: Google admits it sent private videos in Google Photos to strangers https://t.co/HnkXQAssUe via @verge

I am really curious about how it was technically possible that private videos showed up in other people's archives. Takeout lets you bulk-export all your data from Google and it's weird to me that one file format would 'escape' like this https://t.co/IFeyXmwKCC

"Google’s nonchalant email alerting users doesn’t provide any details on how many people were affected, nor the amount of individual videos that were distributed incorrectly per account," reports @tomwarren in @verge https://t.co/mVwVhCKzAG

Still think that dumb Google superbowl ad is great? The company sent private videos stored in Google Photos to strangers. https://t.co/h2DIvseyFs

Google has revealed it accidentally sent private videos in Google Photos to strangers. The mishap happened for 5 days due to a technical issue with Google’s Takeout service. Yikes. Details here: https://t.co/DHxSBXq0PL pic.twitter.com/jX6f2pF4Gv

Let’s not forget that it’s more important that you can whiteboard algorithms than demonstrate a decade of experience building robust, secure, privacy‐aware applications.https://t.co/DF4mUrHvmN

Apparently Google Photos some privacy poo poo, and according to the logic applied to G+ back at the time, it will now have to be closed quickly.
This story pairs very well with the Super Bowl ad about how you should share all your most intimate memories with Google https://t.co/bH6hVqA0Jd
— Casey Newton (@CaseyNewton) February 4, 2020
This seems wildly insufficient, Google. At minimum, people should be informed exactly what videos of theirs were accidently provided to other users. https://t.co/wuDrsSJDrB
