Scanning on their servers is much less privacy preserving for users but don't fret, Dropbox, Facebook, Microsoft, etc. already scan stored photos.
- lifty 5y agoNot necessarily. The scanning implementation can be similar to what they plan on doing on your device. I don't want them to do the scanning on my phone. If shit hits the fan and I become a dissident, I would prefer to have the option to stop using iCloud, Dropbox or any other service that might enable my government or the secret police to suppress me.
- zekrioca 5y agoOne can encrypt a picture before uploading it to the aforementioned services, and as such nothing would really happen. That’s not a possibility on pictures taken on iPhones that get uploaded to iCloud.
