From the other perspective: democratically elected representatives banning harmful chemicals used in children's toys vs. private companies reading and censoring your conversations.
Not all "protections" are the same.
- dereg 4y agoI'm less trying to compare the two areas line by line and more pointing to the absurdity of ascribing Apple's actions to a national prudishness.
- 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.
