And it's fine to treat everyone as a potential criminal when we entrust our data on the same company's servers? No matter if on-device scanning makes surveillance easier than ever, the surveillance itself was still a significant possibility up to this point with server-side scanning. Imagine how many petabytes of user data already exist in the cloud.

- nonbirithm 5y agoNo, it's that in spite of there already being an invasive scanning process in place for this long at every major tech company that handles user data, nobody seemed to care until now.

Apple intrudes on what you do on your phone, this, among other things, tells that you paid mad bucks for this phone and you don't even own it, you rent it from your phonelord Apple. Also, in their eyes you're suspect and likely a filthy pedo.
