You know what I hate? Titles that say specific words that are never repeated in the article.
A title that has so little to do with the contents of article, that it might as well be a random reference to some throw-away line in some comment somebody uttered sometime, which might as well be left alone so a proper title could be selected.
- BLKNSLVR 5y agoThe "screeching voice of the minority" is that which Apple is catering to in it's image scanning, and since the image scanning is what the article is about, then I don't have a problem with it. Normally I would agree, but I'm fine with the subtle(?) implication of this one.
- Jtsummers 5y agoThat's not what the title is about. The title is establishing the author and the article as part of the "screeching voice of the minority", a reference to a press release that dismissed concerns about the system as, essentially, being unimportant and which used that phrase to dismiss, out of hand, opponents of the scanning system.
- BLKNSLVR 5y agoHah, you're right, thanks. Didn't know about the memo until reading other comments.
- edflsafoiewq 5y agoIt's a reference to > We know that the days to come will be filled with the screeching voices of the minority. https://9to5mac.com/2021/08/06/apple-internal-memo-icloud-photo-scanning-concerns/ https://9to5mac.com/2021/08/06/apple-internal-memo-icloud-ph... from a letter from NCMEC that Apple circulated in an internal memo.
- watt 5y agoIt is, but why not address it in the article? The article does not have a word "minority" or "screeching" in the text.
- bmn__ 5y agoThe author assumes a certain savviness in current affairs on behalf of the reader. You want the content to be written to a lower common denominator. Who of the two gets to decide how much expository context is right?
