I’m not sure why people are upset. They’ve had this ability for a long time.

Either you own the device or you don't. Apple is plainly declaring you don't own the device.

No, worse. They are declaring you don't own the photos if you upload them to iCloud. Which has always kind of been the case with anything based in the cloud.

[–] • 2 pts

I do my own backups, I don't need my shit "in the cloud".

I read they were scanning devices.

[–] • 3 pts

They probably can, but the article clearly states photos in iCloud.

Either way, this should be a boon for those that prefer the old ways.

Manufacturers have had this stance for years.

While kiddie porn is horrendous, we have to stop accepting this excuse for the implementation of mass surveillance programs. This program has nothing to do with combatting child porn.

Cp is horrible, but the govt really doesnt care. It's a convenient excuse to scare the masses into accepting some infringement on their rights. If they wanted to go after cp, then why weren't pizzagate and epstein properly followed up on?

Why would the goverment investigate itself?

[–] • 2 pts (edited )

Once the system is installed and accepted, CP becomes misinformation, becomes hate speech, becomes enemy action, etc.

Just as every system we empowered the government to exclusively target terrorists is now directed almost exclusively toward the citizen; all that was required was an adjustment to the nature of the words they employed.

This will be no different. As with the rest of the big tech/ADL, the purpose is codifying surveillance channels to assist in the directed targeting of individuals holding dangerous beliefs.

If it wasn't porn, it would be terror, trafficking, drug dealers, organized crime, gang, et al... It's all just a fucking smokescreen.

That's just it though, those systems were never designed to target terrorists in the first place. That was just the excuse.

Believing the nonsense about my "Kiddie porn" means you have accepted government lies.

Paedophiles are real and deserve nothing less than a bullet.

Makes me wonder whos job it is to feed the source images into the A.I, and where they source those images from.

There's a big difference between doing something behind someone's back while denying it's being done and actually being straightforward about your spying.

Apple targets pedophiles

MUH PRIVACY AND POSSIBLE MISAPPLICATION

Don't get me wrong, what they're doing is shitty, but it's just curious that this one thing in a long line of privacy-invasion is the only thing that's got (((everyone))) worked up.

[–] • 3 pts

Everything else got people worked up as well, but it's hard to keep people bitching about the same thing for years on end rather than bitching about the latest developement.

Ok. And if the hype dies down over this matter and nothing changes, your point will be valid.

That's kinda on you.

Apple gives decrytions keys to China for chinese users.

It is China, it is to be expected.

Apple bans apps thst are not woke enough

Not a privacy concern, shitty yes, but not privacy related.

Apples targets pedophiles.

Except that it is not just pedophiles, they scan EVERYONE's stuff.

Also, the fact that they will "compare" it to a database of their own tells you that they themselves will have cp in their servers, or at least access to a server that does, which is on itself, fucked.

Weak sauce.

Just don't use iCloud. Same argument.

I'm sure that this has nothing to do with the Chinese Communist party asking Apple for similar functionality to find dissidents.

Well if jeeewglecant tell the diff in nigs and gorillas this thing will miss all the niglets. Guess the pedos will need to switch race. But more likely it will be scanning ever meme I’ve saved

I remember reading somewhere that Epstein didn't abuse a single black girl, I guess even pedos have standards.

Don't keep anything on iCloud.
