Oh look the biggest company in the world that prides itself on it’s “commitment to privacy” and security is becoming big brother
No, people are freaking out that Apple is giving regimes the ability to scan their secure device for any content they deem unacceptable.
Its not illegal search and seizure. You are uploading your photos to a 3rd party (Apple's) service and Apple warns you that they can and do scan uploaded photos for illegal content. Its no different than you being on video when you go into a store. If you don't want your photos scanned, don't upload them to iCloud. Either keep them ONLY on your phone or use a service that doesn't scan your photos.Just another step into invading people’s privacy… totally for getting bad people caught. But I’m not for illegal search and seizure… you have to have probable cause to scan someone’s phone for illegal things. It would be like going into someone’s home and looking through their photo albums without a search warrant. Its almost certain this will go to the Supreme Court
Just don't turn it on then? The post clearly says that noting will get scanned unless you activate it for your kids.My phone battery already doesn't have enough charge to last a day, now I am going to have something constantly scanning everything that enters and leaves my phone. This is getting beyond ridiculous. I have no kids and I am not a creep. I don't want or need this type of monitoring on my phone. I will not be upgrading to iOS15 and this may very well be my last iPhone.
Once its baked into the OS, it makes it exponentially easier for bad actors to turn it on for you without you knowing. Maybe even revise what its looking for. Not that I care because i have nothing to hide. I just don’t agree with Apple’s direction of completely veering from privacy and changing it to monitoring.Just don't turn it on then?

That is not correct. Nude photos of minors is not illegal. What is illegal is sexual images of minors. Don't believe it then rent Pretty Baby and American Beauty. Two instance of nude girls under 18. No one was arrested for making or viewing those movies.They're underage and as the courts have ruled, any underage nude photo on your device can get you jail time,
Sure I remember being 13. I had an iPod Touch so it wasn't before the digital age. It's just that people are obviously going to be blowing up over them drawing a line at that age when it comes to child safety. The only way for them to avoid this controversy was to probably not make these features and instead leave it to third party app developers. This kind of thing seems uncharacteristic for Apple since it creates so much controversy around it, and I just personally don't think it's a smart direction for them to go. And of course, the icloud thing announced today obviously sounds creepy and everyone has strong opinions about that.Doesn't most teenagers want nudity?
I would be pretty upset if my parents kept such a tight lease on me when I was young.
What media?What about pictures of an old man sniffing little girls hair? Those are disturbing, but the media keeps posting them.
It never appeared to be a Big Brother move to anyone but paranoid researchers who heard it was launching today via word-of-mouth and started shouting that the sky was falling.Okay -- that's much more understandable now and it appears to be a smart implementation. I wish this was clearer initially, rather than appearing to be a Big Brother move.
People with something to hide and clinical paranoia and no reading comprehension skills certainly won't like it.I like it. People with something to hide might not.
My understanding is that ALL iCloud stored images are ALREADY scanned by Apple as a way to placate US authorities and this is not something you can opt out of.Okay -- that's much more understandable now and it appears to be a smart implementation.

This.For some reason, this feels half-assed to me. If Apple's intention is to protect the children, then they should scan for gore/violent images as well. I feel like those images are as disturbing, if not more disturbing, than unsolicited nudes for young children.
edit: grammar
So then is this just Apple’s first step in implementing a “smarter” way to do all this locally?My understanding is that ALL iCloud stored images are ALREADY scanned by Apple as a way to placate US authorities and this is not something you can opt out of.
