This is gross. #Adobe seems to have opted everyone into a process that automatically ingests images into their machine learning system. You have to opt-out and you can't do that through the apps.

Here's how you can. Go to:

https://account.adobe.com/privacy

Then, turn off the "Content analysis" option.

If you're not familiar with #DarkPatterns this is one.

@TheIdOfAlan @rubenbolling Is this about appropriation of images stored on Adobe’s cloud service? I don’t see how they have access to images kept locally on a computer.

@paulozelinsky @rubenbolling yeah, that's my understanding. It sounds like it's any images that are store or synced across their systems.

I haven't seen anything about local images but they could get those in theory. For example, every time you open an image in Lightroom for Photoshop those apps have access to the file and could send it to them.

And, if they got really aggressive, they could actually scan your disk for any images and send any they found that way as well.
