Best way to fix the issue is for parents to monitor they’re kids internet usage and not big brother. And the online pics and people acting on these urges are the end result of a bigger issue that if we focused on would better benefit the live of everyone. And let’s be honest, who truely believes that apple or any big tech company are acting in the interest of mankind, its a company with its sole purpose is to make money
I don’t see how this topic has anything to do with money at all.
Apple will find a way to make it about money if at all possible. Large companies are known for following the law as minimally as possible and pretty much only making decisions that benefit them financially.
Your just saying a bunch of generic words that have nothing to do with this specific situation.
Well, I assume they stopped doing it cuz it cost them money to do it… So he’s not wrong it’s about money.
You should look up the definition of Circular Logic.
All I read from their post is “Apple bad because… Apple bad”
Good riddance to bad spyware.
Can we please start ignoring these groups? “The Children” are their only concern no matter how it might negatively affect anyone else. Kids who are abused or trafficked should be helped, but that’s not the only issue we have right now and it’s definitely not more important than the effects eroding privacy would have for people and groups around the world. But these “wHaT aBoUt ThE cHiLdReN?!” groups really don’t care - as long as their concerns are addressed everyone else can go fuck themselves. Plus, lots of these groups are primarily staffed and run by former or current LEO who would like to see less privacy anyways.
Almost none of these groups actually care about the kids. Most of them actively support policies that are proven to enable/cause more abuse because it feels like they’re hurting the bad guys. As a childhood survivor of a bunch of awful shit that I don’t want to get into specifics on, I’ve never seen a single “for the children” group advocate anything that wouldn’t have caused more trauma for me when I was younger. There’s no care about fixing problems and preventing childhood trauma/abuse, just care about asserting control and investing in what “feels good”: retributive justice (that’s more likely to cause recidivism) against one single specific style of abuser while ignoring others (and the survivors) entirely.
This is more about feeling good (and, for some, more authoritarian control) than about actually helping the issue of child abuse.
Also I highly suspect groups like this one in particular are funded or even founded by government organizations with a high interest in accessing all your data.
Completely agree. They should follow the Jeffrey Epstein’s link and networks if they have the balls. You don’t need to scan all people’s phone on earth. Well, it includes high profile people, so good luck with that.
The other day I saw a story “legal marijuana hurts the children” was filed in a court argument. No support for that sensationalist claim, of course.
Children being sexually absued is absolutely more important then iPhones automatically scanning things you upload to their private servers.
And this is exactly what I’m talking about
I’m glad that this is finally put to rest. I ditched iCloud in protest of this but came back after Advanced Data Protection came along.
Although now I just send my photos to my PC directly now (Photosync) and copy files with iTunes since iCloud Drive (on Windows) kept breaking and also ballooning it’s logs to absurd sizes. So I’m just paying for cloud backups and message storage.
Anyone able to read the article without logging in?
