#13Nooo! My dear wife stop showing me your boobs even though we've been apart on business trips for two weeks and we're both bursting with lust. Please apple save me!
It looks like you can click through it, so you can still have your sexy time. Based on the description, it seems like its intended to prevent accidents, which seems ok to me.

The backdrop to this is a story from 2023 in which Apple attempted to do this and faced backlash. This received significant coverage worldwide at the time. https://www.wired.com/story/apple-photo-scanning-csam-commun...
And since then, we've seen major companies pressured into instead ripping out E2E encryption from public and governmental child safety concerns.

Sure, what I meant is "without actually taking a stance on what the article is about and opinions on Apple's feature aside, I dislike the particular placation presented within"

Yeah, it's clear to see that they'd want to get in front of something like that happening again. My point though is that the pull quote I highlighted is a flimsy reassurance because "it all happens on the device" does not at all prevent "Apple knowing about it," yet the sentence is constructed in a way that (tricks?) people into thinking it would.

Look how far we've regressed. Forty years ago if the phone company said it was going to spy on conversations and halt phone sex but don't worry because you can always choose to resume it, we'd never have accepted that.

If it lasts longer than 4 hours, contact the apple genius bar.
