Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.

Idk why you're being down voted. With ADP enabled and using icloud secure cameras the data is encrypted by keys stored only on your local devices, Apple has no access to these keys and there are no recovery options through apple. If you lose all of your devices and your recovery code and your login information, the data is gone. This has been validated by independent third parties. It's also worth noting that apple still to this day hosts the only corporate "fuck you, we're encrypting it" public memo I've ever seen at https://www.apple.com/customer-letter/ .
I’m being downvoted because I dare say something positive about Apple. People don’t like that here.
Apparently and fr. I'm by no means an apple stan but let's give them shit for things they're actually guilty of instead of gaslighting ourselves with new bs.
Pretty much. There’s plenty to bitch out apple for. I don’t see why people can’t just stick to the facts.
Yeah, I remember several years ago they got a terrorists iphone and Bush tried to pressure Apple to give them access to the phone; Apple refused to cooperate. Good on them.

ah, yes!
Sure, let's stick to facts like Apple is the most privacy oriented company in the world and regularly gives a "fuck you" to the government.

Apple account data is irrecoverable.
How to request access to a deceased family member’s Apple Account
Just because you repeat marketing "talking points", doesn't make it a "fact".
Simping for one of the most profitable, closed source, authoritarian friendly, anti competitive, ring kissing pedophile president company is definitely a choice.
The push notification issue applied to all push notifications including any os that delivered them (Google, Microsoft, etc) which is a valid concern we can discuss, family recovery is not possible with ADP enabled jfc learn to read, and I never stated they were the most privacy oriented company in the world. Hate all you like boo but their implementation of E2E is vetted and legit as any, and idk how any of this is simping because I don't fucking like apple. I'm just not going to subscribe to blind stupid baseless hate that does not follow any factual reality.
Jellyfin! Android! Lanepslitting!
These are all things that, if you go against, will bring out the angry nerds.
