There are options to turn off glance in the settings. Like I said, you need to use Android to learn how it works. Rambling about the things that can be turned off easily is just a waste of time.
This is funny. So, Apple is evil because of showing ads in App Store and correcting issues like showing certain type of ads. But Android OEMs are good because they stopped overloading ads. They sell huge amount of user data to agencies and this is okay? Your understanding of user data and ads is as weak as that bridge that recently collapsed in Gujarat.
See my previous post. Glance got turned on the very next day and I had to disable again. Stop blindly hating/supporting brands. I believ I told you this earlier in another thread. You have this habit of blindly hating Apple and their products.
Android OEMs do not have the privilege to charge premium for a half eaten fruit logo. If they had, we won't be having this conversation.
Ah, yes! An ideal way to derail any conversation is to brand the other person as a hater and job done. Are you still living in 2022? Because I feel this "corporate" hate/love thing was a massive phenomenon back in the early 2010s.
conversation? What conversation? You are just blindly throwing tantrums on Apple yet support all the shitty/dark things that Android OEMs do. There is no conversation here. You do hate one brand and you know it.
That glance is very easy to get enabled accidentally. Random swipe on the lock screen turns it on.
The video at 1:15 calls out Apple scanning your phone's local storage to find offensive material. This alone was outright misleading. That's a violation of data protection laws across the globe.
Umm, Apple themselves have said that they scan local storage to find offensive material such child pornography without user's consent. It also calls directly to local police. It's a part of iOS.

It seems like you were born today. Why do you think free to play games try to sell you lootboxes and battlepasses, while a $60 game gives you everything for free?
Quite ironic... Seems you yourself chose to believe what you wanted instead of doing any unbiased research

The only strong point in that video is the Apple Tax of 30%. Rest all is speculation. I read lot of ebooks on Kindle and I am directly affected by this. I open Kindle and lets say I want to buy a new book to read. I can directly purchase from Kindle app in Android. But I cannot do that iPad/iPhone. Why? Amazon has to pay 30% of that eBook price to Apple. To fix this, Amazon does not let any iPhone/iPad user buy a book from Amazon app or Kindle app on iPhone/iPad. Yes, we cannot buy eBooks from Amazon app in iOS/iPadOS. I have to open Amazon website, purchase the book there and come back to Kindle app and download. I can buy any other product on iOS or iPadOS, not ebooks.
Actually, The article acknowledges that CSAM detection happens only on photos stored in iCloud. The additional feature related to child safety is opt-in and only flags inappropriate content. This feature scans the iMessages sent or received on the device.

But Apple is doing something a bit different, something that feels more invasive, even though the company says it’s meant to be less so. The image scans will take place on the devices themselves, not on the servers to which you upload your photos. Apple also says it will use new tools in the Message app that scan photos sent to or from children for sexual imagery, with an option to tell the parents of children ages 12 and under if they viewed those images. Parents can opt in to those features, and all the scanning happens on the devices.

Apple would like to clear a few things up
The privacy-first company’s invasive approach isn’t going over well with many.
Because they do this to identify and protect kids from certain imagery/direction and it is done with consent from device/service user.
To clarify, the images are still scanned locally but only if they have been uploaded to iCloud. The scan happens at the time of upload. Other cloud services do the scan after the upload on the server itself. Apple believes that this is a superior approach to scanning the data on the cloud directly. Whether that is accurate or not is a separate debate though.
Let me give a different perspective. What Apple is doing is that it is giving these tools to users to disable data collection, correct? This means that any application that heavily relies on personalised ads are taking a massive hit. Facebook alone lost 12 billion dollars this year on this one change alone. Imagine how much other companies are losing. If you have installed iOS, you will remember prompt asking whether to enabled personalised recommendations. WHen you select no, you do not get personalised recommendations in App Store, stocks app etc.
In a ideal world, both are bad. In current situation where you just cannot avoid ads, I would take non-targeted ads over personalized ads. Even worse side effect of all this is FB's data scandal. That showed the ugly side of collecting user data.
But when the same data has power to win an election......
