- allears 5y agoWhat could possibly go wrong?
- smitty1e 5y agoHow would you like the report formatted?
- lancemurdock 5y agoAs a company, Apple is obviously free to do whatever they please with their products. As a self marketed "privacy" company. What a joke.
- sam_lowry_ 5y agoTheir products? I thought I bought one. Isn't it mine, now?
- akmarinov 5y agoNope, you bought a license to use iOS.
- josh_today 5y agoI’m all for free markets but tired of that “private company” argument. Most of humanity’s life essences are “stored” on private company clouds. It’s 2021, we need new laws for a new world.
- lancemurdock 5y ago1 million percent. Have 0 faith it ever happens when looking at the average age of congress. Of course I doubt they even care
- ASalazarMX 5y agoFrom time to time Apple picks a small idea and aggressively markets it. It usually goes well and hijacks that common concept with marketing. The last time it failed was "COURAGE", but "PRIVACY" is a though thing to sell too.

- lancemurdock 5y agoah shoot I swear I looked before posting. Obviously not hard enough
- mam3 5y agoThe only people who will complain are either pedophiles, or people who value their "privacy" over children ' life You can downvote but you still choose between one or the other
- ndkwj 5y agoI know this is a troll comment, but yes, I value my privacy over the lives of children I don't know.
- mam3 5y agoThat was not 100% a troll comment. Barely 0%. I really think apple is doing a good thing

- stuaxo 5y agoI guess the issue is this could be used to track any kind of image, from dissidents a government doesn't like and wants to pick up to anything else.
- ASalazarMX 5y agoWould you upload your pictures for us, so you can demonstrate how you don't value your "privacy over children", whatever that meant?
- mam3 5y agoMe not uploading my picture doesnt lead to children being abused
- bastard_op 5y agoNext up, Apple scans for cock pics. Android usage doubles next day.

- readonthegoapp 5y agoApple has gone full Q. I think there is at least one truism about people/orgs who all of a sudden decide they want to do something about kiddie porn -- they're either involved in it directly, they want to be, or they're trying to hide/distract from something abominable.
- smitty1e 5y agoThe sudden appearance of unspeakable photos on the phones of completely innocent dissidents will never, ever occur.
