> Google photos doesn't have nearly the privacy focus and no HE whatsoever but I rarely see that mentioned here. It almost seems like Apple gets held to a higher standard just because they have privacy preserving initiatives.

What is so surprising about this? If you make big claims about anything, you are held to your own standards.

It doesnt' seem this way at all. It is rare to see someone talking about current behavior, they are always talking about the slippery slope - such as landmark detection obviously being the first step in detecting propaganda on a political dissident's phone.

This isn't driven by trying to hold them to a higher standard; it is an emotional desire of wanting to see them caught in a lie.

Like parent mentioned - I don't upload photos to Google photos, assume parent doesn't upload photos to iCloud.

Should photo info be sent to Apple/Google in this case?
