Bro, all I can think about is turning on my camera's 4K and my family photos flooding the entire internet 😅; that's why I disable AI-based light enhancements and just use a safe privacy filter. IMO, lowering the quality by a couple of levels isn't worth the risk of some random hacker sending you a "you're being watched" message!
