Do you realize the irony of saying that Americans are overprotectionists, using Europe as a comparison, when the EU may be the most sprawling, onerous, and protectionist regulatory state to exist on this planet?

- googlryas 4y agoI have to assume you're intentionally misrepresenting what is happening here. Why would you do this? Do you not think your point is strong enough to stand on its own without lying about it? Everything happens on-device, with no use of Apple servers, and this is clearly called out in the release above. And beyond that, this is a feature that is only enabled by the parent, who society already accepts has the power to censor what their child views. What you said would be like saying that the GNU foundation is reading your conversations when you type something into emacs.
