I think a big difference between Zune and Apple's CSAM issue is that there were people (literally dozens of us!) who LOVED the Zune.

- Macha 5y agoThere have been people defending Apple's CSAM policy on hacker news as well. It comes down to how you weigh "small harm on everyone, potentially abusable to serious harm in other countries eventually" vs "major harm to a small number of children". Clearly the majority opinion here (and mine also) is the first of these is worse, but it's not like I can't understand how people who believe the second is worse came to that opinion - I simply disagree with them.
- Retric 5y agoI have defended Apple because they like everyone else in the industry were already doing this server side. Their getting backlash because they are open about what they are doing not because it’s in anyway unusual. The actual negative implications are slightly worse battery life and more network traffic if you use iCloud. The upside is people can inspect the perceptual hash. Also, the phone isn’t reporting anything it doesn’t have the database to compare it to.
