One of these statements is inaccurate.

Bluetooth is not normally considered a network connection.

>the phrase before the "so" does not imply the phrase that comes after, meaning the sentence still is not factual.
This seems highly pedantic, unnecessarily so in fact. Sure if you take "so" to mean "implies" then your statement is reasonable, but "so" doesn't solely mean "implies".
The point seems to be that you're in control of the photos, and they aren't being sent off to a secret google dark site to mine for data about your toddler. Do you disagree with that, or just have further grammatical quibbles?
Edit: apparently it is a thing but not really, like very low bandwidth.
Can we be sure that the compromised clip isn't uploading images to the phone? Not the little video clips supported by the standard device, images created by additional software.
Of course this is pedantic, but is also a useful way of analyzing what internet of shit products might end up doing (that is, reasoning about the capabilities in addition to the advertised features).
Listen, this statement clearly is made to address privacy concerns, and it does so in an irresponsibly misleading way.
The point he was trying to make is that the photo selection is done on the device and not by Google servers. Obviously the device has network connection, it just doesn't use it for that specific usecase which is analyzing images, but it can use it for other stuff.
