No, why would I be happy with this? I actually prefer the alternative: scan photos server side, fine. That's Apple's computer and if I send my photos there, then I can't justifiably argue against that. But my device shouldn't be part of their attempt to appease law enforcement by turning the world into a dragnet.
- endisneigh 5y agoIf you don’t send your photos this doesn’t affect you in any way.
- brendoelfrendo 5y agoThat's how it's supposed to work, but frankly, once the capability exists client-side, I don't trust that it will continue to work that way.
- EricE 5y agoNot sure why you are getting voted down - you are 100% correct. Especially in this post 9/11 world - look at what was supposed to be "temporary" to deal with the "terrorists". Ha! You have to be an utter simpleton if you don't think use of this mechanism will expand. It's not even a leap of logic - it's been going on for 20 years all around us!
- brandon272 5y agoFor some reason with every new privacy infringement people seem to want to believe that "this will be the last one". I'm sure 3 weeks ago no one could have fathomed that Apple would make an announcement like this, yet here we are.
