Apple privacy letter (Law enforcement through your phone)
SiliconWizard:
Anyway, I do think those invasive surveillance measures are completely useless at defeating any kind of criminal activity anyway. This may "catch" a few idiots, but unfortunately, I'd think most criminals would know better than to put pictures or videos on surveilled phones and clouds anyway. So as always, they're just using mass surveillance and invading EVERYONE's privacy while criminals will probably continue happily doing their bad deeds while laughing at Apple and the likes.

I'm not sure what people are concerned about? If you use Apple devices or upload data to any number of cloud services, this stuff has been happening for many years. Most people just don't bother to read the EULA before they click "agree".
This isn't new information.
bd139:
They actually changed the EULA retrospectively to cover this on the 1st and 8th of August and yes I did read it before.
