If you’re outraged about Adobe sending your pictures off their servers (you should be), please know other vendors do this too. That horse has already bolted.

Eg Microsoft Edge automatically sends your key presses in Edge to MS - enabled by default https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/how-to-disable-writing-assistance-via-group-policy/td-p/3648422

@GossiTheDog God I am tired of whataboutery.

@engagedpractx @GossiTheDog Doesn't feel like whataboutery to me. It feels like it is coming from a group who have long been warning about these harms, only now with Adobe is it starting to be taken seriously, and we offer alternatives to all of this.

It's an absolute classic in the genre of 'tech guys failing to communicate about what they care about with the general public.'

@engagedpractx @GossiTheDog Fair enough, and there is a metaphorical horse I'm striving to get back in its stable!

It can be frustrating not being taken seriously for so long, but yeah best to avoid any phrase suggesting you're "late to the party"!
