Why doesn't Apple have the freedom to detect and report child porn?
- bitexploder 5y agoBecause it isn’t Apple’s device or data. It’s mine. And I don’t want this on my computer.
- dataminer 5y agoYes you own the device but it comes with Apple's software and services which you don't own. As long as you are updating the software on the device you will have to live with how it interacts with Apple's online services. You can install your own software on Apple's hardware if that is possible and then use the hardware as you feel fit. Or you can take Apple to court and get a judgement to stop them from scanning your data.
- bitexploder 5y agoYou and I both know how incredibly difficult that is. And that it simply doesn’t have to be this way, but Apple wants the control and they are going to fight to keep it. The phone duopoly you must exist within if you want a modern device is untenable for society in my opinion. The few of us, as technocrats, are the ones who have to speak up and advocate for those who can’t go as deep on the technical issues as we can. It’s all spiraling to a user hostile, corporate controlled world.
- augstein 5y agoI hope this is just trolling, but in case it’s not, just ask yourself why your landlord or your HOA doesn’t have the „freedom“ to search your flat/house for that kind of stuff.
