- upbeat_general 5y agoI can't imagine how the gag order would allow Apple to announce a CSAM scanning system but not announce that the government forced them to. What basis could there be for that? And I'd be even more skeptical if this originated from a single case of abuse.
- labcomputer 5y agoSure, but look at the context. The hypothesis was that Apple was doing this to create negotiating leverage with some three letter agency. How does Apple get leverage if Apple gets all the negative publicity, and can't even say "TLA made us do it"?
