Honest and nuanced conversation?
I am dealing with Apple righteousness and arrogance for far too long. 20 + years to be exact. And I ended removing macOS workflow of my company because of this "privacy innovation" for the children.
This corporation died long time ago, people just like the Idea of old Rebel Apple for creative minds and individuals.
People actually understand how this will work. A lot of educated and high level professionals reacted with vigor.
Spinning this towards "people don't understand" is blasphemy coming from serious self-delusion, no excuses given.
Resolving the issue is simple: Break Big Tech monopolies and create a climate for change. AT&T break up comes to mind. It is time to wake up.
User data is the petrol of the world of tomorrow. Access to user data and implementation of solutions based on it must be regulated not towards some three letter agencies wet fantasy but towards respecting individual privacy and existing laws and democratic principles.
Even if Apple cancels this intrusion on user space, which I heavily doubt, and implements CSAM only on iCloud servers (as every one else), the image of Apple as an guardian of user privacy (false or not) is gone forever.
People are talking about alternatives and "moving off-cloud to NAS" which is actually the right thing to do in this situation.
Oh and Apple will continue to be loved. But this love will be more than biter-sweet, it will become dangerous. Some of us are old enough to know when to leave a sinking ship.
