After thinking a bit about your response, I disagree. There is no expectation of privacy with "why did she wear this?". It's the opposite, actually. They're wearing something so sheer or short or whatever there is an expectation that you will look.thats the online equivalent of asking „why did she wear this?“
Jeez...3 thumbs down for this perfectly worded masterpiece? Don't people have a sense of humour any more? Some people really need to lighten up!Wow! That’s terrible for her, however my first thought was.. They can have my pictures for 5 million no problem! 🤣 I’ll even throw in a few 🍆 pics
When you mentioned eggplant photos, I actually thought of this skit on Comedy Central titled "BDSM Food Porn Star - Mini-Mocks":Jeez...3 thumbs down for this perfectly worded masterpiece? Don't people have a sense of humour any more? Some people really need to lighten up!
Only problem is if your device is dead and won't power on... can't hard reset/wipe it (and if it is a computer, none of them are end-user serviceable anymore so you can't remove the hard drive/SSD to backup data and/or wipe it via other methods).
If Apple's outsourced technicians manage to resurrect such a device then you are at their mercy to protect your privacy.
"lapse in judgment"..... WTF?!? That was a clearly willful act. If I were Apple, I would sue them into bankruptcy. That was a disgusting act.I hope the technicians that posted the photos were dealt with accordingly. It was a terrible lapse in judgment on their part to do such a thing.
This is exactly why have to oppose Right To Repair! ONly Apple is trustworthy enough to protect the privacy of clients!
Oh... wait...
oops.
When they take a phone for repair your required to unlock it. In the case where I took my phone for repair I backed it up and wiped it clean. Not sure what you can do about an inoperable phone, anyone have an idea?Wow! Good for her!
I wonder, how did they actually unlock the phone? Maybe it didn’t have a passcode enabled? (To be clear, even if it didn’t, that doesn’t excuse going through her photos, much less sharing them!)
Yeah, was thinking about that the other day. Would be nice to be able to provide some extra protection for certain photos or files. For example the other day when I was on my dog walk I found the remains of a cat that was taken by Coyotes. I remember seeing earlier on NextDoor that someone was missing a cat. So I snapped a picture (it was somewhat gory) to compare when I got back and maybe send to the poster if they wanted and I thought it matched (it didn't). But then was thinking about my friends daughter (6) who I watch sometimes likes to play on one of my iPads and routinely likes to browse through the pictures. That isn't something I'd want her to see and I would have hated to forget to delete it. Hide works a little, but she is pretty smartiOS/iPadOS need a Secure Folder feature.
You, sir, are an entrepreneur.Wow! That’s terrible for her, however my first thought was.. They can have my pictures for 5 million no problem! 🤣 I’ll even throw in a few 🍆 pics
Does suing confirm the authenticity of any of the photos that circulated online?This reminds me of the Hunter Biden laptop situation…
Yeah good question. Seems like something like that should be considered a criminal offense though.
Well at least Apple can pay millions in a settlement. Good luck getting anything from a small repair shop ;-)This is exactly why have to oppose Right To Repair! ONly Apple is trustworthy enough to protect the privacy of clients!
Oh... wait...
oops.
How do you do a factory reset if:Always factory reset your devices before sending them away for repairs. You can restore from a backup after the device is sent back.
Unless of course you trust people you will never meet to comb through your data... 🤔
I had the same experience here in Canada recently and was pleasantly surprised they no longer needed my password and thus access to my private information (were I to leave any on a device sent in for repair). In the past I was required to provide a password. It is entirely likely this lawsuit forced this change in policy and procedures. I am sorry this person had to take the hit for the team but I have to think $5 million helps, at least a little.I was at an Apple Store over the weekend arranging a repair and the Genius I spoke to mentioned that (in the UK at least) Apple have changed their data protection policies to no longer request a password.
