CSAM is such a blatant excuse to me it blows my mind how such a huge mindshare on here believes this is actually about child protection or is a valid argument.

CSAM is such a blatant excuse to me it blows my mind how such a huge mindshare on here believes this is actually about child protection or is a valid argument. Since this is public information do you think pedophiles will just get caught by this? Will this curb their appetite? If somehow I found myself in an authoritarian state where porn was illegal just on apple devices do you think I wouldn't just switch to a different OS? This is a bullshit excuse and we've seen it countless times. It is manipulation 101, get the victim to agree to a small request first then ask more and more. I'm glad I never used apple devices and I'm not caught in their ecosystem.
