This is so awful. I trusted Apple because of their stance on privacy — I felt as though I could trust them so I bought into their ecosystem and now my iPhone is basically the nerve center of my life. I keep everything on my iPhone and access all my primary services through it. All with the confidence that all I have to do is push the lock button five times and all of it is locked away behind a very long diceware pass-phrase and that nobody, not even the government, could pry into it. So reading all the headlines tonight was like a physical punch to the gut. All of a sudden I’m tasked with migrating all my shit somewhere else? I literally don’t even know where to begin… it’s going to take me weeks to research everything and find a new device. I don’t even know if there is an alternative device.
And no matter what move I make next, it’s going to be a downgrade in hardware specs. What a bummer.
And here’s another thing. In the OP, they make it sound as if the imaginary mark was a female. We all know that females won’t be affected in any way. Most females will probably not even care about this. Because they don’t know what it’s like to be nervous around children or to have to make sure you are never alone with children even by accident or happenstance because everyone assumes that you are a pedophile, rapist kidnapper. Leery looks from adults all the time whenever there are young girls around. It’s a uniquely male experience. It’s also uniquely male to have your guts cut open and ripped out by your cell mate. When people start being brought in for a hash match and then they find incedental images of young girls that look like they might not be 18, innocent MEN are going to die.
