Apple offers full photo encryption as if this year, whereas Google can - and will - give your local gestapo your photo roll, mysteriously delete your account for taking pictures of your kids, and do god knows what with them for data mining.

- nr2x 3y agoNot with ADP enabled, which is new.
- smoldesu 3y agoEnd-to-end encryption can only be trusted up to a point when Apple owns both ends.
- nr2x 3y agoThere are very steep legal penalties for lying about it, and it’s not available in China, so on balance I think it’s a reasonable risk, especially since Android makes no such promises.
- smoldesu 3y agoAndroid is not a cloud service like iCloud. Fundamentally it will not make any promises about the encryption of it's services. That being said, I can use open-source projects like Syncthing or Owncloud to handle my syncing, and skip the whole mutual trust part. Though I'm sure the NSA does a wonderful job auditing Apple's private codebase, for whatever sense of security that offers.

- realusername 3y agoIf your really care about that, there's nothing else than GrapheneOS at the moment. Both Google and Apple will side against you here.
- nr2x 3y agoThat’s the entire point of ADP, you don’t need Apple to side sorb or against you, they don’t have the keys. Google doesn’t offer that and Graphene isn’t a photo hosting service.
