   That discusses a system that Apple disabled.   
      
   And doesn't support your first source AT ALL.   
      
   'Mysk:   
      
   No, macOS doesn’t send info about your local photos to Apple We analyzed   
   mediaanalysisd after an extraordinary claim by Jeffrey Paul that it   
   scans local photos and secretly sends the results to an Apple server.   
      
   […]   
      
   We analyzed the network traffic sent and received by mediaanalysisd.   
   Well, the call is literally empty. We decrypted it. No headers, no IDs,   
   nothing. Just a simple GET request to this endpoint that returns   
   nothing. Honestly, it looks like it is a bug.   
      
   Mysk:   
      
   The issue was indeed a bug and it has been fixed in macOS 13.2. The   
   process no longer makes calls to Apple servers.'
