Is it a slippery slope fallacy to assume they don't have children's best interest in mind and are using this for other reasons? I see China forcing them to run searches on hardware for them to stay in their market, and with the way Apple kowtowed with iCloud encryption, it would not be a suprise if China already did this and they just need to run more models to train and use for their own marketing reasons. They can get metadata from the devices this way so I don't see anything more private about it: they will not only scan your iCloud pictures, they make your phone run their calcuations at no benefit to you, and its not possible to disable what is going to be used for non optional telemetry if you use iCloud.
- smoldesu 5y agoThere's not a doubt in my mind that China already scans domestically distributed content, otherwise they wouldn't have strong-armed Apple into storing Chinese iCloud data in domestic datacenters. If you really want to put on your tinfoil hat, there's an overwhelming lack of evidence to suggest this isn't happening in America, considering Apple's history of PRISM compliance and inevitable pressure from five-eyes.

I suspect that individuals working with sensitive information in other countries do not use iOS or official Android when they are at work. If US spies on allies it would probably spy 100x more the non alied states. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/us-security-agency-spied-merkel-other-top-european-officials-through-danish-2021-05-30/ https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/us-security-agency-spie...
