I don’t care! I do not want them helping themselves to representations of my data. I don’t care if it’s encrypted or run through a one way hash. I don’t care if they only interact with it via homomorphic methods. They can, again, fuck the hell off.

A private corporation has no business reading my files for its own benefit.

that's what i'm saying!! because of all these special privacy measures it's genuinely impossible for them to get any benefit from this. it is only used for your benefit to improve photo search on your local device.

they don't see any of the data, they simply perform computations blindly over the encrypted data that are then returned to your device to then decrypt the results locally and use them to improve local photo indexing for you.
