At this point I feel unsurpringly betrayed. As others have pointed out there is no going back. With little to no visibility on what the phone, the ipad, the mac-mini is doing, are they safe? I hear there's no device level scanning, has that been confirmed by someone other than Apple?
What are you guys also doing? Is there a website that helpfully details how to get yourself out of the eco system?
I can tell you what I have done so far, but it's very much work in progress.
- Removed all photos from iCloud and turn off all iCloud stuff.
- Backup up phones to my mac (encrypted), will transfer to nextcloud and NAS.
- Built a NAS and now storing photos there - looking at.
running PhotoPrism, but haven't made that work yet.
- Transfered useful cloudstuff to Hetzner's NextCloud hosted. and enabled E2EE on certain folders.
- I use NordVPN but I always have done.
I realise it's a lot of effort to go to so I can privately store a pictures of me eating an ice cream in Rome ... but as we all know that's not really the point.
