Apple has just released a new rather urgent statement
saying that by the end of this month they will be permanently deleting the
photos of millions of their users
specifically in this statement they wrote that on July 26th which just free reference
is the Wednesday of next week
all photos within the fold are called my photo stream will be deleted and so essentially
it looks like Apple is trying to funnel all their customers into using the iCloud Storch
make sense however you might look at the situation and say wait a minute
how safe are my photos on the Apple iCloud
do they have the capability to scan my photos whenever they like
and the answer to that question is technically yes they do have that capability
because you see about a year and a half ago Apple released a detailed plan about
how they were going to scan the photos
of every single iPhone user within the United States now at the time they
justify this program of theirs
by saying that it was necessary in order to combat child abuse imagery
but on the other hand almost as soon as this proposal was made public
security experts across the political spectrum they said that this plant
could allow Apple to essentially run surveillance on tens of millions of people
for reasons completely unrelated to child exploitation
