Shimul Sood / Android AuthorityTL;DR Google Photos’ Gemini-powered Ask Photos feature is actively blocking searches for “weed,” “cannabis,” “marijuana,” and “joints,” even in regions where consumption is legal. Google Photos’ search functionality has felt unreliable lately, especially as Google continues to inject Gemini into every nook and cranny of its ecosystem. Reddit user binarypower is complaining that Google Photos’ search feature yields no results when searching their personal photos for “weed,” “cannabis,” “marijuana,” or “joints.” The Gemini-powered Ask Photos feature actively refuses to search the user’s photos for these search terms, and the user claims that even classic search errors out. Keywords like “beer,” “alcohol,” and “cigarette” are not similarly morally policed in Google Photos, neither in Ask Photos, nor in classic search.
