This website contains age-restricted materials including nudity and explicit depictions of sexual activity.
By entering, you affirm that you are at least 18 years of age or the age of majority in the jurisdiction you are accessing the website from and you consent to viewing sexually explicit content.
But then they’ve built this entire system to spy on people’s photos and there’s only 1 barrier in place keeping the rest of the public safe. It would only be a matter of time before it is enabled for everyone.
You’re thinking of Google, where they data mine you as their primary business model. Google Photos scan your photos for object recognition, what do you think that is? There’s no E2E there at all. Apple’s object detection is done on device. It amazes me that Apple got attacked about this when literally everyone else is just doing it without telling you and not offering encryption.
Fair, except that unlike Apple’s plan, Google photos doesn’t automatically flag photos to be reviewed and the report people to the authorities. I guess it is very close to that capability though, so I agree.

Google already did that: https://www.theverge.com/2022/8/21/23315513/google-photos-csam-scanning-account-deletion-investigation
