Literal Hostage Situation

Alt Text:
Google photos on ios is literally a hostage situation. Remove key functionalities like copying an image or editing an image unless you give them full unrestricted access to your entire photo library. (The holy grail of surveillance capitalism data). Data extortion masquerading as a service.
So why are they using Google though? That's the weird part. Nothing is making them use Google photos on an iPhone.
Until just a few years ago the only map program on iOS was Google maps. Apple outsources a lot of the core apps. I don't use an iPhone but it's possible that Google photos is the photo organizer that is shipped with the phone.
It isn't. Apple has theirs already.
