>Both are bad, and not the responsibility of a company selling phones Apple is not just a hardware company and there is no obligation for them to host offending contents on their servers - just as Dropbox, Google, and so on would maintain with theirs. >As for your suggestions to just "stop using iCloud Photos", how about we get to enjoy the features we bought our devices for, without stuff we didn't ask for and don't want? It's odd to say that a business shouldn't be allowed to police what's on their platform, given we're on a forum explicitly enabling entrepreneurs.

In this case, they're explicitly required by law to report this material if it shows up on their servers.

  Well, Jim Crow legislation was also a thing once.

    This definitely feels like a bad solution provoked by a dubious law; the complaints should be directed at our elected officials, not Apple.

With many more images, many more false positives. One has as a consequence a message or account being deleted, the other - being reported to the police. Very different!

  They were reporting to the authorities before as well with what was found on iCloud photos.

It's odd to say that a business should be allowed to police private user content, given we're on a forum with the name "Hacker" on it, built by ex-hackers, and with part of its member's interests heritage not in and "enabling enterpreneurs" but in hacking (in the MIT sense of yore).
