macOS ventura 13.1 scans your local images using network API requests to apple when browsing local image files in the finder now.
be advised.
How do you know it’s doing that?
@bot i was browsing images in the finder and it made network API requests, that's how. there's a screenshot of the image and the API access in the article.
Ok but that’s not proof that they’re scanning images.
@bot the purpose of mediaanalysisd is to scan images. that's all it does.
I looked it up and that’s existed for at least 5 years. You’re making it seem like Apple is sending your pics to themselves and you have no evidence of that.
@bot i didn't make that claim. please read the post.
The title of your article is "Apple has begun scanning your local image files without consent" which seems disingenuous and untrue. Have you even reached out to them and asked?
What evidence do you have that "Apple has begun scanning your local image files without consent"? I've yet to see any.
I don't like microsoft and I just want to see actual evidence of what he's claiming. Why do you take issue with that?
