Apple is about to start scanning iPhone users' devices for banned content

a reply to: Cymru

Saw this on the "news" this morning.

I don't see what the problem is, all Apple users should feel comfortable with this considering they were comfortable buying Apple's products.

It's on them. I'm waiting for my Freedom Phone...

😐

I'm curious, does anyone know what kind of computers the Pedigon was using when they found all that child porn about a decade ago that just disappeared from the "news"?

Maybe Apple can help finding the pedies at the Pedigon?

Yup, add to, take away.

I'm still pissed THEY took the Christchurch shooter's vid off my phone. And it wasn't even a phone with service, I used the WiFi to surf the web. At least they left his manifesto alone. It's a good read.

None of that has to do with the Constitution, that is all criminal or civil statutes.

Wrong AM as every single bit of it does. We are under the COTUS, and not NAZI rule yet. When the Fascists officially rule you will be right. Until then the COTUS is our bible of Laws and we use it to Judge the other law. There is no other way and THAT is why the controllers are trying to use narrative to get us to volunteer our COTUS to be surrendered.

Maybe try to explain how you hitting 'AGREE' violates the Constitution.

Considering Apple guy was at sun valley conference it does not surprise me Apple are going down this route…..what gets my goat is they bang on about privacy yet are invading yours…….mental……

In general chit chat as its not worthy of a rant (yet.)

"For now it's child abuse material but the tech has mission creep written in.
Apple is about to announce a new technology for scanning individual users'
iPhones for banned content. While it will be billed as a tool for detecting
child abuse imagery, its potential for misuse is vast based on details
entering the public domain."

No mention of an opt-in option?!?!

Happily the only i(spy) device is the works phone that I use to scan serialnumbers and take pictures
of badly patched comms cabs. Some might label that geek pr0n but hey.

Thanks a lot for providing the link. As a big Apple fan, I'm fully behind this idea. Child abuse is absolutely terrible, and we should use all the available means to take a clear stance against it. Otherwise, you have nothing to worry about if you. I've been an iPhone user for more than ten years, and I never felt like being spied on. It is always possible to buy a new phone and salvage data in the worst-case scenario. The price we pay for a phone is nothing compared to the fate of poor children all around the world! Cheers.
