Good lord. Why is everyone so upset by this CSAM scanning? Google scans every email you send, Facebook tracks every gesture and post you click. What makes you think that apple hasn't been scanning, or at least had access to, all your stuff in the cloud anyways? The instant you trust your data with a third party, you forfeited your privacy. The whole CSAM thing isn't a revelation. If you're upset by the thought of a third party entity looking at your stuff then stop using products by these companies. Use FOSS for your computer programs and OS's. Use a phone OS like graphene, /e/, or something else privacy oriented. The only way to stop being a commodity is by sacrificing convenience and the only way to gain that convenience back is to build your own tools. Talk to the old timers here that have been using minimal OS's and building custom scripts for the past 20 years. They'll tell you that you get a level of speed, efficiency and customizability you can't get with name brand OS's. The learning curve is worth it considering you build knowledge and skills not a lot of people today have. Not to mention you gain technological independence, which is worth its weight in gold.
