Google photos on ios is literally a hostage situation. Remove key functionalities like copying an image or editing an image unless you give them full unrestricted access to your entire photo library. (The holy grail of surveillance capitalism data). Data extortion masquerading as a service.
That is not what "literally" mean lmao.
Just use FOSS software, nobody's pointing a gun at you. Pretty sure if a real hostage situation survivor reads this s.he will laugh wtf
People need to get their heads out of the idea that privacy is any kind of rule. It isn't. It's an exception. Unless you personally use a private dns server, unless you personally use a VPN, encrypt your files, use custom roms and open software for interacting with the internet, then you should assume that you're just an open book.
~~How could they steal and sell my data!?~~
OF COURSE, they'd steal and sell my data!
Careful, tho. You get hardcore into privacy and security and you'll basically have a side-gig of constantly checking for leaks and reading product reviews for "linux support".
At this point, any time I get downvotes for privacy and security discussions, I'm just going to chock it up to how the willfully ignorant cope with reality.
Google and Apple, every company and government that can, spies on you. Telling them no is not taken seriously. This isn't some kind of slightly unbelievable truth, it's just the way shit is, and has been for over a decade. If you're pissed off about it, do some work on yourself. You're a hypocrite if you're participating in foss, vpn and self governance discussions but scoff at folks like me like we're wearing tinfoil hats. You leave a breadcrumb trail everywhere you go. Believe it or don't.
Man posting this has three photos of a stump he removed once, 10 photos of a trip to Spain and 3 selfies done by his niece
