The CSAM thing did irreparable damage to Apple’s reputation. We foolishly trusted them as benevolent dictators of the walled garden. They demonstrated why that can’t work. Everyone is fallible, nobody deserves absolute trust.
- kbf 4y agoThey announced their plans, people objected and they listened. I don’t get what the problem is?
- mdpye 4y agoPeople wanted to believe they were incapable of considering or even conceiving of such a thing, so anti-thetical to the narrative they built sparring with some US law enforcement agencies...

- mulmen 4y agoThe problem is that Apple considered it at all. They could have easily not listened and then we'd be stuck with no alternative. We know these things happen in secret, the fact they even suggested it publicly means that internally at least part of their leadership thinks it is ok.

- mulmen 4y agoI didn't say it only extends to Apple. They differentiated themselves on privacy. That's a difficult position to hold because you can't ever make a misstep. Apple did, and they can never recover.
