Totally fair hahaha.
I gotta hand it to Apple for being one of the very few mega corpos that even try to advocate for privacy. Their idea of “scan your photos” was fucked, but at least they backpedaled. I’d like to hope it was a checksum scan and not, like, an AI scan that had human reviewers—that would be incredibly creepy to me.
Well, I don’t store any photos on iCloud anyway cuz I don’t need the fucked up shit I do with my partner on the interwebs, but still. Not a good look, glad they went back on it.
