you’re not allowed to use the bible that way. you can only use it to justify irrational beliefs and hate towards others that don’t align with your view of the world. /s seriously t…

they are everywhere. they have facebook phds in vaccines and public health along with a masters in selection bias.

it depends how long you’ve been obese, how obese you were and if there were external factors that led there. glad getting back to a normal weight worked for you. This is awesome.

stopped using Google, M$ and Facebook a long time ago. Guess it’s time for Apple to go.

for all that i know the software doesn’t even need to update itself. it may have the backdoor built in. so now what? go back to landlines? stop using a “smart”phone?

seems reasonable? here’s the thing: you start with a clear cut case like cp and after that you add different things that, as a government, bother you. you’re in a totalitarian stat…

yes. the “if” maneuver for the mental gymnastics gold! cannot believe i wasted my time reading this pedantry

> 36 of 84611 in the unvaccinated versus 0 in 1066 in the vaccinated group. 36 in 84611 is roughly 1 in 2350, but we only had 1066 infected in the vaccinated group. There is not en…

the CSAM part is not opt-in. technically you could not update to ios 15 or disable icloud, but it's not opt-in by any means.

The real translation is that nobody gives a fuck about the children but they use this as an excuse to peddle their bs backdoors.

If I hire someone to do X I trust them to do X. If X involves them getting in my house to do something while I'm not there I give them the keys. If they screw up I no longer trust …

yes, this is coming to the mac also. surveillance across the board!

the line is crossed because if you store data in the cloud you kind of get that the provider might be force to give LE to it. It may or may not happen but if it's in the cloud tech…

to me it seems like if you don't use Apple you're totally protected. Hmm... What is the alternative again? Is there a phone that does straight linux and everything is open source?

> So the user can’t have information about anything, but they can appeal the decision if their account is locked? And locking the account might cause people to do all kinds of stup…

The Big Brain Scheme Apple uses for their CSAM stuff. Summary for the lazy: - this is going to be out in ios15 - Apple will build and push a database of hashes with every update - …

copyright enforcement, detecting terrorists, sussing out dissidents. The applications are endless!!! Welcome to the future.

yes. it's specific images. It's pointless and looks half-assed, but hey, they have the future to perfect it. This is only the watered down/tame version to get the foot in the door …

so why scan it on MY device? Is there more to this story and Apple is not telling us what is really going on. you betcha'

Google, MS, Dropbox don't wave their Privacy flag and pretend they are better than everyone. Guess I'll add Apple to my "do not buy stuff from them" list

if you read the paper Apple put out, this check takes place right before the icloud upload. also, they are allegedly not doing this for all existing pics. only new ones that get up…

it’s all ones and zeros. if you have nothing to hide you should not worry about it /s

yes it’s only icloud photos for now. what’s going to be next? are you going to have a huge scandal every time they turn on a new “feature”?

this is a narrow way to look at it. once they start doing this, it’s not going to stop at pictures and it’s not going to stop at hashes. you will literally end up with the thought …

the next phone? I will stop buying Apple products period.
