Lemmy: Apple doesn’t care about your privacy and is secretly keeping your deleted photos because they want your data.
Reality: 1) iCloud photos are E2EE 2) Apple doesn’t have an encryption backdoor, which is why the feds keep pushing for one 3) violating deletion requests is illegal in their core markets
Aaaand… 4) your ass probably already has thousands of photos that you didn’t delete. They don’t need your deleted photos if they want to train models. They have more than enough stuff that you didn’t delete.
As its all proprietary you can’t, and basically nobody can, say anything about a backdoor. It’s pure trust in this corporation.
It’s not proprietary. It’s the AES 256 standard.
iCloud is proprietary by definition because Apple has not publicly released its source code under a free license.
Yes. I’m referring to the encryption standard and I’m saying the photos stored in the cloud service are E2EE.
But AES is
AES is a specification, not a piece of software. Closed-source software like iCloud that implements the AES specification is still proprietary.
