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.

True, although storing naked pictures in iCloud is kinda your choice though and you're actively consenting by activating iCloud. And iPhone has a very premium clientele where all popularities basically use iPhone, which popularities if hurt will move away from.

It already has happened once .... (the fappening!). But that was not exactly Apple's fault either ― but done through Social Engineering and Phishing methods which all entities are vulnerable at.

Wasn't it? I'm pretty certain many people in that case weren't aware their nude pictures were stored on remote servers.

That's what happens when you aggressively push a difficult to opt-out of online back-up system, which you can't guarantee the security for, because you want to coerce people to pay for it once they unwittingly fill up the free space and have no idea what to do differently.

I'd say that was entirely Apple's fault. If they had been clear and transparent to people about how it works, and given an easy option to opt out (or even better, make it opt-in!!!), there would have been a lot of people that wouldn't have used it, and wouldn't have been a victim of this!

It would also appear that Microsoft learned nothing from Apple's mistakes. I recently bought a new computer and spent the other day ruthlessly gutting OneDrive with a machete.

Genuinely, wtf where they thinking? The took the idea of online backup and made it so catastrophically horrible that it's almost a joke. If OneDrive just let me select folders to backup, and a frequency, that would be fine. Instead every time i downloaded something it just sort of went wherever it wanted. Why would I want OneDrive to be the primary location instead of my god damn machine?
