It worries me that anyone thinks it would be a good idea to have "fake news" and "inflammatory content" blocked at the device level. Obviously cloud providers can do whatever they want (though I doubt it catches any more than the lowest hanging fruit, encrypting then uploading would be uncatchable), but the idea that my device will have a list of disapproved content, and I'll have to appeal to the government to be allowed to view it in case of false positives? The day that becomes a reality freedom will truly be dead.
- pradn 6y agoI didn't say it would be at the system level. I'd expect this to happen per app. It's similar to how photo manipulation software can detect currency. I doubt every such app complies, and certainly the system screenshot tool does not.
