#22This is particularly troubling in light of their CSAM detection. "Before an image is stored in iCloud Photos, an on-device matching process is performed for that image against the known CSAM hashes." You do not own an Apple device that you buy. https://www.macworld.com/article/352875/ios-15-csam-scanning...
I’m willing to bet that this will be called an accidental bug by apple and never addressed.

#23Color me surprised Seriously I really want to be able to claim I own a piece of electronics again. I feel the next step will be the FBI putting in a watchlist whoever buys a Polaroid, a Framework laptop or a Pinephone (suspicious that you don't want to be spied on...).

#24Is Apple’s sin, here, assuming that when you sign into iCloud, you want to use iCloud?

#28Also if you activate the screenshot on tap, you'll notice that your iphone will take screenshots through out the day without you even providing the necessary taps. see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/hzovl0/back_tap_set_to...
1. Even the reddit posts doesn't claim that 2. Do you think Apple would put the screenshots in the Photos app if they were taking them in order to spy on you?
You made that leap yourself.
I'm not pointing out a grand conspiracy, I'm pointing out another another gap in Apples privacy model.
> Even the reddit posts doesn't claim that
That is literally the entire post. But okay

Better yet just spam folks with AirDrop to show how merely having an image on device doesn't mean squat irrespective of automatically downloaded images from a website or AirDropped in a bunch of unrelated media, lest you get a engineered adversarial image which has the same NeuralHash as CSAM catalog.
Been a long time since I've had an AirDrop from a device that wasn't mine - don't you have to confirm acceptance?
According to [1], yes, unless it's from your Apple ID, you get a preview and have to explicitly accept/reject.
"When someone shares something with you using AirDrop, you see an alert with a preview. You can tap Accept or Decline."
https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204144
Are you saying that if you hit "Decline", it still saves the photo to Photos?
