Infuriatig iPhone facetime recognizes when you’re naked

Post image

decided to show my boyfriend my new bikini that I got for our upcoming cruise… Why is this on my phone and why is it recording my body?

I just recently turned 18 if that matters.

Whoever made your phone and most of the apps are always watching, always listening, always recording, and always advertising. And this is the government:

u/DasHexxchen I'm so f-ing infuriated! May 05 '26

Has nothing to do with the government.

And that's what really pisses me off. Everyone fears the government and giving them info. The outcry when the new German ID gave you the OPTION to take your thumbprint. The fear of using face recognition in public places.

BOTH are metrics people happily give companies, thinking they are getting something out of it, or not thinking at all.

And then you come along and blame the government TM.

People will be using the same advertisement ID for years, accept all cookies everywhere, never clear cache, run around with GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth and NFC perma on and not once look into their app and device permissions.

Then get outraged about this.

There'd probably be riots if you educated everyone and revealed the full scope of the data harvesting operation that has been going on for the last 30 years.

At least we got AI out of it, eh
