I think this adware company is pure evil, but this feature seems like something a user might actually opt in to (as noted in the AP story, quite a few did).
Interesting to see that while meta at least publicly scraps the feature, a similar one on iOS Photos is not even an opt-in – you can't turn it off.
- ta1243 2y agoIt will be trivial to get users to opt in, just bury it in the "terms of service" for whatsapp/instragram/facebook/etc and you're set. Network effects mean you can't realistically say no.
- phyrex 2y agoThe difference is that the information gets processed, stored, and accessed only on your own devices with Apple, and on metas servers in the case of Facebook.

- phyrex 2y agoI don’t understand the question? iPhoto detects faces and you can assign one of your contacts to that face?
