    Criticism is due. The relationship between proprietary software and privacy shouldn’t put trade secrets over personal secrets. A “we totally weren’t just secretly keeping all your pics for AI training or whatever” isn’t enough of an answer.

      The EU should take Apple to court over this for violating the GDPR.

      If they aren’t deleting user data the user has deleted, especially old data that should’ve been flushed from all redundancy and resiliency measures years ago (backups, indexes, caches, etc), then they should be fined billions.

        Agreed. Even if it was an accident(I don’t buy it), you don’t get away with other crimes by claiming it’s an accident. This is a matter of responsibility!

      Criticism is definitely warranted, but Apple’s not the kind of company that shows how the sausage is made beyond whitepapers. I wouldn’t expect much follow-up is all I’m saying. If seeing the code is important, Apple is the wrong company for you.

        Oh yeah, Apple will definitely plea the 5th. They aren’t about to roast their own bacon.
