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.

Siri has always been a mess. That's not the data this thread is about.

Photos, got any anecdotal bullshit on that?

What kind of moving goalpost is this? "Apple does not harvest your data". "Uh they absolutely do, they literally (used correctly this time) got caught listening to people" "Nu-uh only pictures".

You're an apple idiot aren't you? Look it's ok to admit you've been dumb as fuck overpaying all these years. We all make mistakes. Think about how scientologists feels.

Lmao I've witnessed literal sex cults that were less cultish than an apple campus.

Insulting the person in a internet discussion is an immediate loss.

Keep those emotions in check, it makes you look a fool.

I didn't insult you sweetie. As I said, we all make mistakes. Just admit you're been fooled. No dishonor

You called me an "Apple idiot"

I understand you and all the others downvoting me are emotionally invested in my life and that's cute but that was an insult.

I'm sorry to any involved that had an upbringing where insult and condemnation was consider love and affection. It's not. Seek therapy. Creating an out group out of Apple users to help yourself feel superior isn't mentally healthy.

It's amazing how eerily similar this sort of discussion mimicks those I have with Trump supporters.

I have a working theory that people such as you will suffer the great Fox News brain rot as you age. All the pieces are certainly in place for it.
