seems like a dumb thing to argue about. everything you're saying is moot as you can just plug in your phone to your computer and upload photos without scanning, or use a self-hosted file upload service, etc. your compute and phone resources are already used for analytics and other things that you didn't explicitly tell the phone to do. you also greatly overestimate how much CPU it takes to compare a hash, lol fact of the matter is, you're only scanned when you're using apple services.

> your compute and phone resources are already used for analytics and other things that you didn't explicitly tell the phone to do. I didn't know LineageOS sent analytics, it never showed up on Netguard. Curious! If you think this is a dumb thing to argue about, then by all means; don't argue about it! If you're satisfied with your iPhone and convinced that Apple can do no wrong, then certainly don't let me get in your way. We're talking about the largest company in the world, though, and if you're unwilling to offer them a little criticism for objectively degrading the iPhone experience, then I don't see the point in discussing this. > you also greatly overestimate how much CPU it takes to compare a hash, lol Do I? If it's not such a big hassle, then Apple can just run it on their own servers. They own your iCloud decryption keys anyways, it shouldn't be too big of a deal.

  We're talking about Apple devices here so LineageOS is irrelevant. Please keep up. > Do I? If it's not such a big hassle, then Apple can just run it on their own servers. They own your iCloud decryption keys anyways, it shouldn't be too big of a deal. Privacy is better preserved doing it on device compared to on their servers. anyway, nothing more to discuss here.

    You might think that it's silly to complain about having to directly pay for an adversarial program to run, but try to imagine how it could bother other people.
