That's where traditional parenting takes over. If the parent knows what the child has done, he/she can have an age-appropriate discussion with the child about the subject. It's just one of many tools to protect children online, and like all tools, its efficacy depends on how it's used.Yeah, but nothing stops them from using other means to look into nude photos if they so desire.
This is as useful as having an alarm system on the cookie jar. If the child want the cookie bad enough, they have other means of obtaining a cookie.
Protect what from exactly? In countries, like the U.K., sex is almost seen as crime. People turn 18-20 and have zero experience, have no one to talk about such stuff with, because parents, school, government and big tech companies have been telling them that sex and nudity is sinful and a crime and that they should be punished for any activity related to that. How is this “protective”? Sex has become a taboo, even tho it is the most normal thing in one’s life, and all of this restrictiveness is quite dangerous in my opinion and has life-time consequences.Why? It’s optional and protects children. How is that disappointing.
Yes, the pearl-clutching in this thread and in general is pretty funny, actually@sorgo That's funny? Ok...
It’s not the number of articles, it’s the fact people no longer trust apple on this.Well, we all know how this thread will end up with the people who didn't read the multiple articles explaining the difference between CSAM and Communication Safety

What are you talking about? (Bold emphasis mine)Protect what from exactly? In countries, like the U.K., sex is almost seen as crime.

People who send nudes to vulnerable children as a way to scam them into something, or sexually harass them.Protect what from exactly?
I could actually see their govt complaining that Apple is only blurring the message and not reporting the sender to the police.Im sure the UK will be against this
At least they say this is on-device and nothing is sent to Apple. But still, there is one functionality that would render these things useless, and it is called "Parenting"
I have seen a lot of people not pleased with this. Sorry didn’t mean to offend anyone, but I do think that there’s no way the tool can really catch all threats, especially internationally when no one uses iMessage to begin with.
Basis is just establishing trust and communication with your kids, doing this together and yes eventually checking on the stuff they’re doing in your devices. No tool it is going to 100% prevent any risks, especially with all the apps and different media channels that exist.
Cause it's not a coincidence that they're working on both at the same time. Just because they're unrelated right now doesn't mean it'll stay that way in the future. We also don't really know what's happening within closed-source code running on a notoriously hardware-secured phone, so it becomes a simple matter of how much you trust Apple, not about technical knowledge.I am on the same page. I, as many others, took so much time in other threads explaining and reexplaining the difference between the two, but there are still people here who are screaming about CSAM scanning when we’re talking about Communication Safety Feature (which I don’t have any problem with)
Pleased to see this come to the UK.
My daughter is 10 and so this comes at just the right time.
What the actual ****By speaking to some friends in their 30s I see that equipping your teenage sons and daughters' rooms with cameras is pretty normal...
Yeah, no joke.What the actual ****
