First CP. Then leaked or unauthorized nudes will get filtered. Filters for terrorists, and terrorist imagery or symbols. Start scanning for guns and drugs.

First CP. Then leaked or unauthorized nudes will get filtered. Filters for terrorists, and terrorist imagery or symbols. Start scanning for guns and drugs. Drug dealers and criminals get added to the list. How long before before it’s dissidents, political opponents, and minorities in dictatorships? How long before Tim Cooks CP filters are used against LGBT groups abroad?

  By dispatching someone you presumably mean “ok, I found this on the web”?

It's funny how it's always CP or terrorism we need to watch out for.... Never is it the politician who accidentally went to war with wrong country, or the tax return of the congressman, or a cop sleeping with somebody who's under arrest, or EPA employee who took a bribe to declare a chemical safe, or mysteriously malfunctioning cameras in a prison the night of an alleged suicide. Build surveillance to catch those people and I'll listen.

  I am not surprised censorship is used selectively by the powerful against their enemies.

This is the real danger here. Covid made them bold, it set them up as a judge of content passing through their systems. Now they are consolidating themselves in that role. A boot stamping on a human face for all eternity.

  Fact checking to censoring misinformation then on device content scanning. In less than 5 years we have made multiple leaps towards censorship.

Do you know how many billions of pictures of guns and drugs have ever been taken?

  Sure! Lots! My Instagram account is mainly weed (legal in Canada) and Instagram censorship hits my content occasionally (because illegal cannabis selling on the platform is rampant).

    And how many of those billions will Apple hash and check for?
    - newsclues 5y ago
      Not zero

        And how many of those pictures will you have in your library?

Maybe we can worry about things when and if they are implemented? If you don’t trust Apple it’s a moot discussion anyway.
