You want to know what's bullshit? If you have an iPhone, go ahead and turn on airplane mode. Take a nude (or download one from the Internet). Now try using the background cut out feature (the one that grabs the subject and makes a transparent .PNG for stickers). You can't. The iPhone processes nudes on-device and won't let you edit them.
My Samsung S25 Ultra did not have this restriction so I was able to object erase on images with nude adults in them. That was, until OneUI 8.5 (latest software update). Now, all those features don't work when you try it on a nude subject. It gives you an error message: "Cannot process this kind of media".
A gooner's dillema? Sure, but as of right now, both android and iOS actively prevent you from using your device by taking away working features under the guise of child protection. Can't even have tasteful nudes of your wife anymore. Linux phone when.
Is this real? Damn we are already quite far down the hole.
Yeah I wouldn't have gone to the trouble to write all that if it wasn't. It's easy to verify though if you have an iPhone. Since my original comment, I did find a setting hidden in the gallery app settings that enables "use magic eraser in editing settings" which restored my ability to use generative erase locally on nude photos.
