Well, Justin, I guess we'll be left feeling for each other. I approached this discussion with an open mind and you saw it as nothing but a trap. I hope you, too, revisit this at some distance.

There is a simple test to run here: take a sample of users who went through this experience and see how well they understood what they handed over.

I'll tell you what anyone who cares about user privacy will tell you: it's deceptive and careless to gain access to data this sensitive in this way. This further qualifies as special categories data since it's being used to detect sensitive categorisation.

Again, as parting words: you took this as adversarial from the start and read the rest in that frame. I would just like to see Google stop fucking up, because it affects a lot of us. That's not adversarial, even if I'll keep saying it loud. Good night to you.
