- Klonoar 5y agoWhat's stopping them already...? It operates on iCloud photos. Those are already scanned. If a nation state wanted to flex this before they could have done so.

- meowster 5y agoThat's a poor argument, and possibly some kind of fallacy. 'No one has done it before, so they probably won't do it in the future now that it we made it easier.'
- Jolter 5y agoIt’s not easier though. They moved the scanning onto the device instead of doing it server side. That all.

- simondotau 5y agoWhat was stopping Apple from being threatened with the exact same threats three years ago?
