"Confusion", yeah right. As an Apple user I was always realistic about this and I am pretty sure things like those are being done for years, but now Apple just decided to go public about it. Nothing confusing about it however. When you use a closed platform, things like these are literally the endgame for those corporations -- namely being able to not only have access to all that goes through the devices but to profile you and, in one bright and an ever-so-close future, censor and police you. I've a made the conscious choice of using Apple because I value my time and energy more than the 0.01% chance of me being wrongfully flagged. Their products are robust and convenient. But with these news I have partially revisited my stance and I'll start pulling some of my erotic photography collections to a private NAS / home cloud server. I wish them luck breaking through my router and several layers of Linux virtualization and containerization. I really have nothing illegal to hide but the slippery slope of "for the children!" can be used for anything and everything. I won't be a part of their game. In a few weeks/months it will be "your move, corpos". ---------------------- SIDE NOTE / OFF-TOPIC: I wonder at what point we'll get to the trope of "non-approved Internet traffic is a crime"? Hopefully not in my lifetime but I believe we're bound to get there eventually.
