It is definitely legit because Apple issued a fix ( https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/20/24160983/apple-iphone-ipa... ). So they’ve acknowledged the behavior but not explained why it happened or confirmed that deleted now really means deleted.
I can't believe news about this is as quiet as it is. This should be on national television, like cambridge analytica (which honestly was probably not nearly as bad as this)
If it's limited to local resurrection of the deleted photos, I'd see it as way smaller than what we had with CA.

Why did the mods remove it? I hate that they have such insane censorship powers on Reddit, especially when many of the top subreddits are controlled by a small group of them.
