      @Valmond @ozymandias117 oh so we’re still doing the baseless-accusation-without-knowing-how-it-works thing?

      They keep deleted photos for a time in iCloud in case someone comes looking for them

      Every cloud storage provider does it, every mail server does it, it’s incredibly commonplace

          @ozymandias117 I see now

          Then how would they be training AI on it? If they don’t have it? If it’s on device what’s the problem? Deleting a photo doesn’t wipe the bits to 0, it never has

            I never made that claim, my man

            I just wanted some more information about how the on-device database corruption led to restoring pictures

            Those are generally opposites

            On spinning disks, it’s significantly easier to restore data after a delete, but it’s not normally as easy on flash storage like they’re using
