Adobe Photoshop now spyware:

Gee whizz -
I'm glad I use a very old version of Photoshop -
none of the hassles of the latest version.
They insist on access to all your work.

Photographers Outraged by Adobe’s New Privacy and Content Terms.


Jun 06, 2024
Adobe, no stranger to controversy, finds itself in hot water yet again. People have taken note of updated terms of use for using Adobe software and are outraged, fearing that Adobe has complete access to a user’s content.

If users want to continue using the Adobe app in question, they must accept the revised terms of use, which is standard practice. They cannot continue using Adobe apps and services if they close the window without accepting.

Here it is. If you are a professional, if you are under NDA with your clients, if you are a creative, a lawyer, a doctor or anyone who works with proprietary files - it is time to cancel Adobe, delete all the apps and programs. Adobe can not be trusted.
One sentence in the pop-up has raised hackles among creative professionals: “Clarified that we may access your content through both automated and manual methods, such as for content review.”
“So Adobe can now spy on all the projects being worked on right now? That’s insane,” writes one Reddit user in a highly upvoted post about the controversy on r/technology.
“All that NDA work…” another user laments.
Numerous creative professionals are extremely upset, too, including designer Wetterschneider and artist Sam Santala.
