*My* kids and dogs. But ...
>doing things that the phone I already own and have on me all the time can do.
Remember what I said about dogs and my kids stopping what they're doing when a phone is out and focusing on the phone instead? It's not "Don't take my picture." It's "whats that in your hand ooooh gimme."

Unless you have a solid evidence of THAT (and not some random link), please do not make unsubstantiated claims.
Anyhow, if you're really curious about how it works : Photos are stored on device and then imported via bluetooth/wifi connection manually or when they're charging. _NOTHING_ gets sent to Meta unless I specifically use the multi-modal Meta AI ("Hey Meta, look and tell me x"). All of this information is out there in several places (including Meta's own documents) as to how this works. It's not very hard to find - easier than making unsubstantiated claims.
You should try to have a normal conversation instead of being argumentative. It tends to help people wanting to talk further. This isn't reddit. :)
