I suspect Google is doing the same thing with their leftist cooperation and desire to collect information. They have been helping the Chinese surveillance state as well.

What could possibly go wrong?
Granted, I suspect the Biden family would be exempt from this type of thing, but I feel pretty certain that if my account contained an image of Biden pinching some little girl's breast, that could be deemed offensive by...someone...resulting in a more invasive search of someone's image sets, and a visit from Law Enforcement.
And that doesn't even take into account the hit your Social Score would take by even having that investigation take place.
Always "for the good of the Children".
They are being clever with this, implying that if you resist their camel’s nose under your tent then you must be on the side of pedophiles and child pornographers. The Left has spun from privacy-needs-protection ACLU types to vaccination-papers-please authoritarians at the drop of a goosestep. This is what you get with ends-justifies-the-means liberalism.
Once you merge tech snooping with China’s “social credit score”, the government gets closer still to full control of your life.
Ditched my iphone six months ago. Also destroyed my ipad last year. No more apple for me.
Why would all of these Tech Guru’s roll over so easily , quickly and efficiently towards government edicts?? Maybe all the Child Sex Trafficking Arrests and Busts bore some really ripe fruit??

And turn off Microsoft OneDrive. It is likely just as bad. I never set mine up and get all kinds of Microcrap notices, but I am not doing it even if all the other Microcrap stops working.
Thinking about dropping my Iphone for a de-google phone or Linux Smartphone. Maybe LineageOS.
Never used the cloud yet. Memory devices are cheap and I have a drawer full of them.
In order to scan for one type of photo, they have to scan them all. A minor change in the algorithm will have the scan pick up anyone with a MAGA hat. The algorithm will then alert the IRS to audit him.
Apple could also download kiddie porn onto a user’s phone, and then report the user to the FBI for possessing the porn. So Apple has the power to put any iPhone user in prison. What could go wrong?
“Cease updating your phone.”
Can’t stop it from being updated.. They are forced as part of the TOS agreement.
