Google photos on ios is literally a hostage situation. Remove key functionalities like copying an image or editing an image unless you give them full unrestricted access to your entire photo library. (The holy grail of surveillance capitalism data). Data extortion masquerading as a service.
Yeah ask the engineers who work for a company who's whole schtick is to pretend to be privacy friendly that it does not steal user data. They'll definitely tell us.
Yeah well, Facebook had an ethics committee too, so they've always been ethical then huh?
But but but Apple is different…
Anyone who claims these companies have users best interest at heart are gullible people at best or a cult.
you need more of that "common sense" than using your feelings to dictate what multi billion companies are doing with your data.
