hey uh. google now saves images (I.E./including reverse image search), videos, audio (including voice recordings in search and translate. and "Search Live" but that's an AI thing.), and files you use to search and ALSO SCRAPES THEM to feed ai.
Double-check your privacy settings.
Yeah. Yiiiikes. They also moved some settings from Web and App Activity settings to uhm. I don't know I think it's to the new Search Services History settings where the media saving setting is.
[Transcript:] If your saved media is used to train our AI models, it is disconnected from your Google Account. This training data will be kept for up to 4 years, even if you delete the original activity. [End transcript. ]
Oh great I have no control over it haha that's great /sarc
Google also has this to say (from this article):
[Begin quote:] We take your privacy seriously and take steps to protect it when using your Search Services History data to train our AI models. For example, data is disconnected from your Google Account before it is used to train our AI models or reviewed by our trained service providers. We will seek your permission before sharing your media with these providers for human review as part of the model improvement process. We use filters designed to automatically remove a broad range of identifying info or sensitive personal information. We are constantly working to improve our filtering and safety systems to better protect your privacy. When Search Services History is off, your future activity won't be used to train Google’s generative AI models, unless you provide feedback. [End quote. ]
:/.
Thankfully, you can turn this off. Under the cut is a tutorial for doing this, as well as more (I'd say rather important) info about this media-saving feature. If I've missed anything (especially since the wording on Google makes it seem to me that this may be one of several new features), do feel free to add onto this!
Go to 'My Google Activity'.
Click 'Search Services History'
Once your click it, I think it should show you your history by default (the heading should say 'Search Services History'), but if you're in 'Search Services History Settings', click 'View and delete saved history'.
From there, look through the different sections and look for images, audio, videos, files, etc. If you find any, delete them. This feature seems pretty new (as of writing), and the article is from June 10, so I don't think you have to go TOO far back.
Google's article about Save Media says this:
[Begin quote:] Some activity, like AI Mode or Ask Maps threads, contain links to the product where you can view interactions that include media like file uploads. [End quote. ]
[Begin quote:] My Activity may display thumbnails of images or videos you've viewed on Search services. These thumbnails aren’t considered your media and so are not covered by your Save Media subsetting. [End quote. ]
After you're done deleting media, click the button that says 'Your Search Services History setting is off/on'.
If 'Save Media' is on, uncheck it. IIRC, it should be already off if you have search history off, otherwise it's on by default.
This will display some disclaimers. I recommend reading the disclaimers (including what's under the 'Learn More' which is pretty much a read more) if you're able to. It's where I found that thing about the training data being kept for up to 4 years.
Anyways, to turn off Save Media, scroll to the bottom of the disclaimers, and you should see the 'Turn off' button turn clickable. If you click it, you've now turned off Save Media! Woohoo!!!
Here's more info about how Save Media works (from this Google article again):
[Begin quote:] What your media includes
Your saved media includes your images, files, and audio and video recordings from your interactions with Search services. This includes things like Google Lens images, recordings from Search Live or Translate speaking practice, content you upload, and voice searches.
Saved media doesn’t include media that you generate or modify with AI. It also doesn’t include media you share publicly on Search services, like photos added to your reviews.
If your media is saved when the Save Media subsetting is on, it’ll be shown in your Search Services History. You may need to expand an activity event or click a link to the original thread in products like AI Mode or Ask Maps to see full details.
You can stop saving your media with your history at any time. If you stop saving media, your existing text-based history, transcripts, and generative AI media responses will continue to be saved to your Search Services History. Learn how to find and delete your Search Services History. [End quote. ]
[Begin quote:] When the Save Media subsetting is on
When the Save Media subsetting is on, Google can save media from your interactions to your Search Services History. Learn more about what your media includes.
If you use your device without an internet connection, media may be saved in your Google Account once you go online.
If you previously opted-in to donate your image search history to improve Google services with the help of human reviewers, image donation will continue. Learn more about image search history donation. [End quote. ]
[Begin quote:] When the Save Media subsetting is off
When the Save Media subsetting is off, Google won’t save media as part of your Search Services History. Media from your future interactions with Search services will still be used to respond to you and help keep Google safe, but will not be used to train Google’s generative AI models, unless you provide feedback.
When you turn off the Save Media subsetting:
This doesn’t turn off Search Services History, which can still save your activity on Google Search services. This includes text-based history, transcripts from voice interactions, and generative AI media responses.
Previously saved media that you do not delete can still be used to improve Google technologies.
You can delete previously saved media in your Search Services History at activity.google.com. Saved media that has already been selected to train AI models is no longer connected to your account and is kept for up to 4 years, even if you delete the original activity.
Tip: If you got your Google Account through your educational institution, Google does not use your Search Services History data, including your saved media, to train generative AI models. [End quote. ]
[Begin quote:] Other places media may be saved
This Save Media subsetting doesn’t affect media saved and managed by other Google services, like:
Gemini Apps
Google Voice
NotebookLM
YouTube
It also doesn’t include media that you post or share publicly on Search services, such as reviews.
Tip:
Media that you generate or modify with AI isn’t covered by your Save Media subsetting and is controlled by Search Services History. [End quote. ]
Here's more from the disclaimers. Some of it is a little redundant, but I thought it made things more specific:
[Begin quote:] Any media that you post publicly, including reviews, info, and any links that you share with others, is not included in this setting. This setting does not affect data that is not part of Search Services History, like data from other settings or features. For example, photos you upload as part of reviews in Google Maps and videos you create with other Google services, like YouTube, are not included. [End quote. ]
[Begin quote:] Text-based history, transcripts, and generative AI media responses from your interactions with Search services will still be retained and used if your Search Services History setting is on. [End quote. ]
[Begin quote:] This setting does not affect media saved by other settings, like Gemini Apps Activity, or media that you post or share publicly on Search services, including reviews. [End quote. ]
I rarely ever ask for a repost. But this is an exception. Those lines are there for a reason. And I promise, if that is my kid, and your car, I will leave a note to remind you.....then I going to take fuck your paint job. Dont be that asshole.
I WAS FUCKING WONDERING WHAT THOSE DIGITAL PRICE TAGS WERE ABOUT SUDDENLY i had hoped they were so the workers didn't have to finagle those little papers into the slider part anymore 😭
Hi, yes, that is the OFFICIAL excuse made to me by the guy replacing the paper tags with digital ones at my local Walmart, but the end goal is to remove the numbers off the shelf entirely, replacing them with QR codes that you have to scan with the app…. Which requires your login information….. and also stores your card information so even if you didn’t use your Walmart account at the physical checkout, if you used a card they recognize, they assign that purchase to your Walmart account purchase history.
I explained very clearly to the manager my issue with the meat section not having the price tags listed, and they claimed it was only going to be for the meat, since meat is by weight, and the price of each item is printed on the packs of each item.
Sure. That’s how they get their foot in the door. Fast forward not even two weeks, and here we are:
Bar codes. No prices, no item descriptions. No price stickers on the individual items. Heck, not even the name of the item that is SUPPOSED to be there.
No. The only way to see the price is to scan it on your phone app, which is also recording what you looked at recently, as a way of gauging what you might be looking for in the future.
So here’s what we’re gonna do gang:
Every time you go into a store that has implemented these price-less tags:
Take 1-3 items up to the cash register. Ask the cashier for the price, or hit the price check item on the self checkout, which will likely call over the attendant.
Express that you didn’t actually want it, you just couldn’t see on the shelf how much it was.
POLITELY, AND WITH A THANK YOU FOR THE PRICE CONFIRMATION, Give the items to the cashier or attendant to put back.
When they inevitably try to push the app, politely decline. If pressed for why not, say you don’t want to have to carry your phone in-hand the whole time you are shopping in order to see how much things cost. (Not having cell service or data to use the app is NOT a valid excuse, as stores already often have complimentary WiFi AND more stores will provide WiFi rather than give up on this push for surveillance pricing)
If it’s a shelf-stable item, the cashier will have to set it aside, taking up room in their limited operating space, and eventually pass it off to someone to put in a holding area to put back later. If it’s a fridge/freezer item, it might have to get tossed due to food product sale regulations.
In either case, you are making it a pain in the ass for them to have these digital bar codes. Tie up the checkouts. Give the employees more busywork that the company has to pay them to do. Hurt their bottom line having to toss the pint of ice cream you carried around in your cart for 20 minutes before giving it back to the cashier.
Yes, call your reps. Yes, push for more legislation like this in more places. But also take an extra minute out of your shopping trip to MAKE IT HURT for companies to pull this shit.
I've seen some people in the notes express (very fair) concern that this is only going to inconvenience already under-paid laborers, and not have any impact on corporate. While I can't speak for every company or every store, I do work in a grocery store and I can tell you this is precisely the kind of thing that would have an impact, especially if people are doing it en masse. Stores absolutely track their shrink numbers, and they do draw distinctions between what gets stolen, damaged, or wasted for other reasons. If people are making it clear that the reason they're bringing things to the cashier is that the prices are not adequately represented on the displays, and rather than improving business it's wasting product, slowing down transactions, and causing confusion and mistrust in customers, that is a language that shareholders speak.
I worked in retail for years. If this had happened while I was working retail, I would have been delighted and felt great solidarity with anyone who was wasting my employer's time and money and giving me busy work as an act of protest. In point of fact every moment the employee spends carting items back to the shelves is a moment not spent standing at a register.
Side note: this also makes shopping almost completely inaccessible to people who can't afford smartphones. It's another small salvo in the war against the poor.

Extended by one week, the Ivan The Elephant Plush Campaign continues on, with 30 more pledges needed, as of this post, to make this plush truly happen!
It would mean a great deal to me to see this plush become a reality. It's been my dream since I was a 12-year-old kid in middle school, scribbling out comics on printer paper, to create a story that moved and inspired others. This plush represents that dream, and to see one of my own characters -- A character you guys seem to truly adore -- Become this tangible object a person can hold? I'd be completely over the moon.
And if you guys do pledge? You'll be automatically entered into a rendered character art commission GIVEAWAY. One lucky winner will get any character they want lovingly drawn with rendered colors like within "Infested."
Reblog if you can. We are SO close to making Ivan REAL.
You can pledge $2 towards your $35 Ivan plush here!
You can’t call yourself a leftist if you hate children tbh, like you can choose not to have them or be around them, but outright hating the most marginalised group of people in the world who have absolutely no power or control over the most basic parts of their lives and bodies is a dangerous mentality to have and you need to grow the fuck up and get out of your edgy phase and start treating everyone around you like human beings, even the ones that piss you off.

Alright, Poppy Playtime fandom. After understanding the situation (drama on X), I realized that I had made a big mistake. I messed up, to be REALLY honest. I was defending a person I hadn't even followed. And I decided to support them, as I was also being bullied for my AUs and my arts.
(I didn't even scroll through the artist's gallery really) But later I realized what had that teenager who was being protected by others on X so upset, and I understand that. I find out about that artist's nsfw Protosawyer arts.
So I must say this, I don't support ANYTHING I'm accused of at all (pedo things and harrasing minors). And I say this from a sincere heart.
I try to stay away from the 18+ ppt artists because it's well... Well, even I sometimes feel uncomfortable from this, really. But this time I just jumped to conclusions and didn't check the information about what the person I was protecting was doing on the Internet.
It wasn't a problem in my AUs for the most part. The problem is that I accidentally indirectly supported aggressive behavior towards minors, which I would never have done in my right mind. Because minors are still minors. And they should be treated with the same respect as adults
I realized that I made a mistake, and I apologize to anyone who was upset by this misunderstanding. Thank you to everyone who read this and wish everyone a pleasant week.
