#10  So a person taking photos in the Holocaust museum would be flagged to the police?

#8  The FBI lied on affidavits to spy on a US President. This type of surveillance can and will be abused. Just imagine if the scanners do not like you because you have not been vaccinated or attend a political rally or just happen to be running against a preferred political candidate. With all that said my phone is owned by my employer and I make absolutely no assumption of privacy in any activity via my phone

#7  Seeing as Google reads your email - and who knows what it does on an Android.

Have a pic of your kid playing in the swimming pool or taking an innocent bath? You can still get a visit from the Police Swat Team if some hyper-woke apple worker-bee deems its inappropriate.

This will last until people start filing huge lawsuits and criminal complaints against Apple for SWATting.

Good Times. Good.Times.
