I think Apple’s ultimate decision on this is the correct one. The world is an ugly place and there’s no silver bullet that solves a problem like CSAM and ensures it can’t be abused.
Wish it weren’t as this likely would have made a huge impact against child abusers, but thankfully degrading every Apple user’s privacy isn’t the only effective way to fight against it.
Right call. Too many rights and freedoms are stifled in the name of “protect the children”. It’s like asking everyone to live in glass houses just in case they are abusing children.
The people committing these crimes will move on to different platforms/technology, but the encroachment of the state will not retreat back.

It’s actually the preferred brand for those who value their privacy and want a platform that does as well.
It’s for those who value privacy but don’t want any hurdles among the way. GrapheneOS or a full GNU/Linux phone would be the correct response to those inquiring about security and privacy in absolute terms.
I accept that. I want security but I don’t need it so much that I want to put in extra work. My freedom and life are not on the line. If they were I’d be taking extra steps.
Yeah, same. I’m on iOS because I don’t want to be bothered with flashing, SafetyNet workarounds, Magisk, etc. just to have my bank apps and contactless payments work.
Nah that’s probably Tails
I thought this feature has been active for years. Am I wrong?
