Apple still 'searches' personal photos stored locally offline....the keyword here being personal. The settings seem to indicate that blocking any automatic uploading to 'the cloud' deletes all photos stored locally on the device. wtf Haxxors/Apple/Haxxors/Apple I don't care. It's not their data to steal. I'm not trainable in that way.

I'm not too worried about all that stuff anyhow. I'm so random there's no way AI will figure me out.

The service is NASA and was paid for by taxpayers long ago.
I don't know how it all works, but other countries must also have their own signals constantly beaming down. (Some are probably encrypted for other uses like encrypted HAM and cough partisan diplomatic communications recently. That all gets complicated.) Unless Congress allows to deny the US general public access to satellite transmissions it should remain so. The mapping software companies are within their own rights to sell their own product. I agree. Market control and dominance was what I was hinting at.

Like I said before to someone in one of these threads. Security (and pretty much everything) is about compromise. You can lock everything down so you are untraceable. Of course, to do that you've got to live completely self sustainably off grid somewhere with no creature comforts. If you've got one of those cards from the grocery store that gets you discounts or coupons, you're being tracked. If you surf the Internet, you're being tracked unless maybe you use TOR to do your surfing.

Seriously, just delete the FB app. And if you can't delete it, use ADB to disable it:

What if you don't want to delete FB from your phone? I'd rather use it on my phone than my PC, but change settings so it's not as irritating. I don't allow it to track my location or listen to my conversations.

Only thing that has access to my microphone is Teams, Zoom, and Shazam (for IDing songs).
For my camera, it’s Teams and Zoom. I recently signed up for Facebook to use FB Marketplace to sell my M3. Now that it’s sold, I’m going to delete the account. |
