The vaccine that you've been forced to take? Please don't turn this into a clown show. The privacy and openness of our computers and devices is paramount to freedom and a strong democracy.

Apple will release this in their desktop pcs. The major consequence of this is that, a year down the line, microsoft will also be compelled/forced to join this "coalition of the good". After all, they already scan all your files for viruses, it would be a shame if they didn't scan for anything that is deemed incriminating and also call the cops on you. Of course, the children are being used as a trojan horse again. W…
Sure sounds like you're trying to justify child pornography here.
When I was 13 and my parent made me use a content filter on the web I bypassed it and watched porn and they never found out. On the other hand: Why would I ever want a piece of tech that reports me to the police (even if for legitimate reasons).

Windows has been doing this for years. Not with this new tech, but with older methods.
Apple has been a thorn in the side of the IC for a long while. IC probably saw an opportunity to gain a bit of leverage themselves via the whole NSO thing, and likely offered their cyber support in exchange of some support from Apple.
I mean c'mon they've been consistently pressed by IC for tooling like what they just launched; it's the least invasive thing(compared to something like a literal backdoor like that NSA_KEY that MS did for Windows) they can offer in exchange for some cybersecurity support from the gov.
idk if that's what's happened, but it's odd Apple would do this at all, and do it right around the time of the NSO thing.

"Do your own research, the 5G implants from the vaccine have a secret server and reverse proxy to let them implant thoughts into you"
I don't know what's more impressive, the fact someone managed to come up with something so ridiculous, or the fact some people actually believe this level of technology exists.
To such a person, a smartphone is a piece of magic. Expecting them to know what is real tech, and what isn't, is not fair.

With that being said, what Apple is doing here is just a blatant violation of that 'trust' and certainly a compromise to their commitment to privacy. Under no circumstances is it justifiable to essentially enlist people's devices to police their owners, while using the electricity that you pay for, the internet service you pay for, and the device itself that you pay for to perform a function that is to absolutely no benefit to the user and in fact can only ever be harmful to them.
It doesn't matter that the net data exfiltrated by Apple ends up being the same as before (through scanning unencrypted files on their servers). The distinction is so obvious to me that I find it incredible that people are legitimately arguing that it's the same, or that it in some way this is actually helping preserve user privacy.
As mentioned in the article, this does absolutely nothing towards protecting children other than directing all but the biggest idiots towards platforms that can't be linked to them, which I'd imagine, they already are.
