Edit: Digital Assets Management. It also says that it does facial recognition. Does it contact some online service “in the cloud” or is it all offline?
Google Photos is a non-starter for me as a backup solution because they scan the actual content of them. No thanks. I know it’s convenient to search for, say, “all photos with my nephew little Richie in them,” but it’s not worth giving them more information about me than they already do.
I really doubt this. If I lose the private key of this one service I use, my information is lost and unrecoverable - unless they put a backdoor in it.
But if it is true, I’d be okay with this - provided that it is only use to detect abuse images and nothing else.
