You are mistaken. You can use FB just to get information. You can create a fake account, connect with VPN and use dedicated browser app that doesn’t allow tracing cookies. You don’t have to share all your photos with FB. It tries to get as much information about you as possible but you can reduce it to an acceptable minimum.
so I have a simple solution to this privacy dilemma...... all devices using this update will be 90% discounted in purchase price.. all devices not using this government back door.. regular price..
Apple's Head of Privacy, Erik Neuenschwander, has responded to some of users' concerns around the company's plans for new child safety features that will scan messages and Photos libraries, in an interview with TechCrunch.
When asked why Apple is only choosing to implement child safety features that scan for Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), Neuenschwander explained that Apple has "now got the technology that can balance strong child safety and user privacy," giving the company "a new ability to identify accounts which are starting collections of known CSAM."
Neuenschwander was asked if, in retrospect, announcing the Communication Safety features in Messages and the CSAM detection system in iCloud Photos together was the right decision, to which he responded:
When asked if Apple was trying to demonstrate to governments and agencies around the world that it is possible to scan for illicit content while preserving user privacy, Neuenschwander explained:
He was asked if Apple had created a framework that could be used for law enforcement to scan for other kinds of content in users' libraries and if it undermines Apple's commitment to end-to-end encryption.
Neuenschwander was then asked if Apple could be forced to comply with laws outside the United States that may force it to add things that are not CSAM to the database to check for them on-device, to which he explained that there are a "number of protections built-in" to the service.
Neuenschwander continued that for users who are "not into this illegal behavior, Apple gain no additional knowledge about any user's cloud library," and "it leaves privacy completely undisturbed."

In the EULA you already agreed to. They are already doing plenty of on device scanning to which you have already consented. If anything, this is less invasive as it’s based on hashing not using ML to identify faces and items.

Did you bother to read the documents? Going to assume no, given your response.
Yeah we are. I don’t converse with folks that don’t bother to read or educate themselves.
You clearly haven’t given your responses. If you like to be respectful, then go read the documents I linked for you instead of carrying out a silly conversation.
Here is a suggestion, mute or block me if you don’t want to hear from me. I know it’s not about that though, it was about you getting the last word. 👋🏻
