This conversation is rather bizarre. The input to the scanning system is a sequence of bits, read from the flash memory in the phone.
Therefore, the scanning is local. There's really nothing more to it: The distinction is based on where the input is read from, in addition to where the input is processed. Both are happening inside the phone while you hold it in your hand.
It is scanning images locally.
This is totally unacceptable, and should never become acceptable.

- marcellus23 5y agoI'm not claiming the distinction doesn't actually exist. Obviously the scanning is taking place on the phone. What I'm asking (which you have not actually answered) is: why does that make any sort of practical difference? Your argument is "it's happening on the phone, and that's self-evidentially bad".
