Apple is going to scan images you download too, not just ones you take with your camera. Leaving their ecosystem is way more important than just getting a standalone camera.
Oh... you just reminded me of the upcoming VPN service that will act as a proxy of sorts for internet browsing. If they do MITM HTTPS then they will basically scan evertything about you and your internet habits.
When did it became like that? Their only saving grace was that they were okay-ish with user privacy.
'These features are coming later this year in updates to iOS 15, iPadOS 15, watchOS 8, and macOS Monterey.'
So yes.
Also by the OP:
> iMessage encrypts messages end-to-end by default; however, if you have iCloud backup turned on, your messages can be accessed by Apple (who has the keys for iCloud backups) and, by extension, law enforcement with a warrant.
So if you use iMessage and iCloud Photos then they will be scanned by Apple. Won't be surprised to see the on-device scanning feature more prevalent on M1/M1X Macs.
So if you use iMessage and iCloud Photos then they will be scanned by Apple--> it is a lie.
This is definitely not the case.
Yes, with iCloud backup turned on, messages can be accessed by Apple, that hasn't changed, has been the case for a decade. It is specifically written in the technical document that they are not scanning the iMessages photos in the cloud the same way that they would scan your iCloud photos.
