Turns out that Adobe is collecting all of its customers' pictures into a machine learning training set.

This is opt-out, not opt-in so if you use Lightroom, for example, it defaults to adding all of your photos to the set.

If these are unpublished pictures, work-in-progress, etc. they'll still be analysed as soon as they're synced.

I've been using Lightroom to sync photos from my Windows desktop to my iPad. Now I need to reconsider that.

@baldur According to the Creative commons video, if you create something you have automatic all rights reserved copyright of that work. If adobe are using with out your permission then this is clearly a breach of copyright and therefore illegal.

The fact Adobe think they can trick people,so that persons work can sinply be used shows how arrogant big tech is.

Any Opt IN or Opt OUT should be crystal clear in wording and implementation.

Treat them as they would if you shared their software online illegally, prosecution or lawsuit. The laws that protect IP work BOTH ways.
