M-x story-mode.
When you are together with a significant other, sometimes you video call them, and sometimes they're in the bathroom, or shower, when they answer (what are they supposed to do, not answer a call from their beloved?). And during these calls they tease eachother, shift the camera in a non conventional angle, private parts exposed. Or they send naughty pictures to eachother, starting small scale, maybe escalating a bit.
All of this is normal, natural, playfully, I would even say: innocent fun. Nobody plans for it, maybe not even asking each other to do it, it naturally evolves with the relationship, partners doing it out of their own free will. Adults do it, teenagers do it. Again, it's normal!
Whenever this happes through a system that is not fully E2E encrypted, those pictures/videos get stored, analysed, accessed by employees, or even 3rd party contractors that label them for text to speech ML purposes.
My advice, use Signal (since it's always e2e encrypted) to avoid the creepy 3rd party eyes, and carry on with your life.
As for the presented "nudity filter" and it's functionality... you can't stop a determined teenager from doing what they aim to do. Assume they're smarter and more tech savy than you are, and this will just be a barrier they will find a way to overcome. Better to keep them safe (give them Signal e2e encrypted) rather than giving them prohibition (this never worked, and it most likely never will).
- theshrike79 4y agoUnless your significant other is a literal child and marked as such on their iCloud account, this'll never affect you in any way. No data is sent to anyone anywhere. > Messages now includes tools that warn children and provide helpful resources if they receive or attempt to send photos that may contain nudity. > Messages uses on-device machine learning to analyze image attachments and determine if a photo appears to contain nudity. The feature is designed so that Apple doesn’t get access to the photos.
- _odey 4y agoThis obviously does not affect me but that was not the purpose of my post. What my message is: if you have something that is normal for adults and you try to forbid it to teenagers, you will lose. They will have their revenge on you, and they will find a way to circumvent it. For example, if I was still a teenager and had to deal with this, first thing I would do: search and download a collection of thousands of "Harambee nipples" pictures that trigger this filter, send them back and forward between me and my mates non stop to annoy the crap out of my parents and generate noise. Second, I would try to add a "sticker" into one of the pictures until I find a shape, size, and position that will bypass the filter, without hiding the nudity. When such a discovery is made that person will be a hero among teens and it will spread like wildfire. I don't believe this feature will have the intended effect and I estimate it will take less than 2 hours before it's "broken". My conclusion is that if you want to keep them safe, you have to think vastly outside the "inquisition" box and try education, not prohibition.
- theshrike79 4y agoThe child can just view the photo. The only things that happen are: 1) the kid is warned that the photo might be adult content. They can just tap to see 2) parents are informed that their child received such content That's it. There's no need for magic harambe nipple filters :)
- jkubicek 4y agoThere is a "view photo" button under the blocked photo. I assume it will take any phone user much less than two hours to find a way around the filter.
