Flickr sends even your PRIVATE photos to iStock's AI! 😳

If you have a FREE account, Flickr is sending any "safe" photos to iStock's AI algorithm which fetches you visually similar stock photos to sell you via the ads.

But as a free user you can't mark photos as Moderate or Restricted, only Safe. So all the photos go to iStock whether they are Public, F&F or Private!

And you have no idea how is iStock's AI (or perhaps also other advertisers) actually processing those images.

So be aware of this!
