You put your pictures in iCloud, of course Apple is gonna look at them, or sell them, or do whatever they want with them.
This is what companies like Google openly do. Apple at least claims to encrypt photos uploaded to iCloud and to be unable to do that. This is similar to what mega.nz (says it) does with its uploads.
It's because they (supposedly) cannot inspect things uploaded to iCloud that they want to spy on them like this in the first place on the device before they are encrypted and uploaded to iCloud.
I think the message this should send is that no cloud service should be trusted, and if you really must use one, you should encrypt your files first before uploading them. And I mean everything you're keeping, whether it's a receipt of a donation to Trump or a receipt for a sandwich, should have AES-256 encryption.
