optional things like this are fine. preventing me from joining e.g. NSFW discord servers wholesale is not imo. As an adult I should be able to use my phone however I want

100%. It's the difference between empowering users and patronizing them.

I think most people would prefer this over CSAM.

Does that sort of content show up often for people who would not prefer it and don't go looking for it?

As someone who's used earlier versions of iOS for some years now, and who knows a bunch more people who also have, that's not a problem I'm aware any of us ever experiencing. I realise that anecdotes are not data, but it doesn't seem like it should be a common issue at all...

> as an adult

You touch on an interesting element. A lot of iPhone users are kids. Even young kids. Logged in with their parents account.

Not trying to justify what’s going on. Just add context

So, I can’t make stickers with penises in them for whatever reason (you’d think they’d lump creating/receiving them in the same setting), but the ‘are you sure you want to send or receive something that looks naughty’ was, in fact, turned off by default for me. Anyone else?

This was a "welcome to the new version, let's get started" walkthrough optional setting for me. So the user here turned it on and acts surprised it does what it says?
