Pretty awful, scandalous stuff.  Yet another example of a tech provider
making all sorts of promises about safeguards and limits and access,
none of which are true.  I remember when TSA rolled out its new perv
scanners in airports, and promised that all images were discarded, not
available to employees, etc.  And then not long after that of course not
only did we learn that particular assertion was false but there were
actually TSA employees saving particular images and jerking off to them.

You can't believe any of this stuff, ever.  It's really appalling.
