Turns out that Adobe is collecting all of its customers' pictures into a machine learning training set.

This is opt-out, not opt-in so if you use Lightroom, for example, it defaults to adding all of your photos to the set.

If these are unpublished pictures, work-in-progress, etc. they'll still be analysed as soon as they're synced.

I've been using Lightroom to sync photos from my Windows desktop to my iPad. Now I need to reconsider that.

@baldur this is a pretty big privacy issue even if it is just AI analysing it

@bobshure @baldur

It is 100% *not* a "privacy" issue. Not even close.

@keithreeder @baldur I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic or not but having all your images uploaded to a server without your knowledge is absolutely a privacy issue imagine if it got compromised or a bad actor leaked some personal images.
