    yeah sure, it might all seem harmless now, but doesn’t change the fact that it’s a door-opener for Apple

      Aren’t they already doing all of that, but just on their servers? I’d rather have them doing it on my device. There is and will be no way for us to know what they are doing with our data on their servers. But there will be people analysing what ever they do on our devices.

      Same with googles FLoC, do it on my device where I have a chance to turn it off.

      The outcry really should have started when people started using devices that in reality are still owned by the company that made them.

        If they are scanning their servers, you can just not send photos to their servers, but if they are scanning your phone or computer, that is a dangerous new line they just crossed.

        Yes they have. That being said, scanning does not occur if you have iCloud photos turned off. Which I recommend that all iCloud is turned off, such as backups and iMessage, if you really care about privacy.

            Kind of a disingenuous statement. I really care of privacy, but I also care about functionality. So I use an iPhone. Does that mean I don’t care about privacy? No, not at all.
