Did you know Google can read everything on your photos and YouTube thumbnails. This can be very important for your SEO.

This is actually kind of scary.

Not in the video, but it can also read expressions of peoples faces.

Hey Greg,

Thanks for the reassurance that porn may soon be non-existant on the internet. Yeaaaaah!

The ability to see text comes from trying to find fonts that match, so that's not a new ability. Good to know that SCAM artists won't get away with fraud so easily anymore either.

Crazy? Invasive? Mmmmm... I tend to feel a bit more "protected" than paranoid.

There are other things about Google and what information that is collected by their scripts that concerns me more than their scripts being able to detect when someone else's logo or clip are might be being used that shouldn't be used.

That being said... Thank YOU for the "heads up" on what is now being detected on our images.

OK, that's quite all right, they now know I'm a conceited HAM!

Trust me I would be pleasantly surprised, all is good!

Thanks for the heads up!
