Sad, really.  I was hoping that their bowing to China with iCloud wasn&amp;#x27;t a sign of what&amp;#x27;s to come, but apparently it was.  They had done such nice stuff with privacy too.&lt;p&gt;Demote my phone to a house phone and go without, I suppose.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>voldacar</author><text>These processes seem to only move in one direction. In 5 years this exact comment will probably make you sound like an &amp;quot;extremist&amp;quot; if you say it to a random person. &amp;quot;What, why wouldn&amp;#x27;t you be okay with apple searching through your photos?&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;I see it everywhere and it literally seems like some kind of one-way entropic process. I can&amp;#x27;t think of anything that would reverse it. It would be like turning an omelet into an egg.&lt;p&gt;Is there something about modern life that just inescapably creates this complacent, servile temperament in most of the population? Or has it always been there and I&amp;#x27;m just overthinking it? It&amp;#x27;s really depressing either way so I try not to think about it</text></comment>
