I find it easy to share photos with anyone - whether they have a Google account or not. I just select some pictures and you can easily create a link for it. (The link doesn't require a Google account to view.) I like to share images this way over texts, rather than sending the actual images.
Amazing. And as another reply said, 1B Android devices with Photos. I hadn't put these together!
When Facebook was newish and introduced the ability to tag others in photos, I got shivers. I deleted Facebook that weekend purely because of that.
No doubt a shadow profile of me, perhaps several, exists in the dark webs of Meta and Alphabet with no limits on use or retention, but I'm having no part. I'm now curious where the GDPR stands on tagging people with no accounts.

Now becomes "it doesn't count if it was an acquisition". Youtube would probably be dead if any other company purchased it. Google ate losses for years with it. Golang is a developer product. Chrome was not an acquisition. Maybe you are splitting hairs and saying it is an "acquisition" if they forked an open source project.
YouTube would have been fine. Golang is a programming language. Chrome is WebKit. It's not splitting hairs. The point I'm making is that google doesn't have the capability to take a product from the idea stage to the build stage to the launch stage.
I may be missing out on something. Is Photos a big thing, and if so, how?
