You're splitting hairs unnecessarily. Apple is scanning users' photos on their devices. To say that they are not "scanning devices" because they are (currently) only targeting photos and not every single other part of the phone is unhelpful at best, and detracts from the point that this is a massive violation of their users' privacy. The exact wording here really doesn't matter as much as you think it does.
- zepto 5y agoHow does it ‘detract from the point’ to not speak falsely? If you intentionally make someone think that anything other than the photos they are uploading are being scanned, then you are deceiving them. Deceiving people to make your point doesn’t help anything. It just makes you a liar and the other person misinformed. If this is a massive privacy violation in itself, then you shouldn’t need to exaggerate it.
