This is a pretense for downloading everyone’s photos and using facial recognition technology to identify possible friends that attended a peaceful protest - mark my words; you will be getting a knock on the door.
As a person with a bit of biometric related background, the only thing which surprises me is Shutterfly announcing it.
And totally agree, this will be another redundant trove of facial recognition for government at both state and federal levels, if there even is a difference anymore.
Virtually every online photo storage site has similar language. Anything that you share with a third party could always be turned over to law enforcement. Shutterfly ALWAYS had this option, just like the Kodak guy did with your 35mm film.
It has nothing to do with secret lizard people conspiracies.
