- fragmede 4y agoSing it with me: One of these things, is not like the other! Look if you just want to get your 3 minute hate against Apple out I'm happy to yell and scream with you (fsck their walled garden), but scanning for CSAM on your device (which they took back and aren't oing) is not the same thing as fighting thieves. Hell, Apple recently made the move to allow iCloud backups to be fully encrypted, impervious to Apple, the local police department, the FBI, the CIA, and the NSA (unless they've broken the encryption scheme, and they didn't tell anyone, which is entirely possible, but that's like Edward Snowden levels of "they're out to get you"), so I'm not sure how they're "the police now".
