This does not align with my experience with HN. The pitchforks were properly out and aggressively poking at Apple when Apple declared that images uploaded to the cloud would be actively scanned and reviewed for illegal content. It got to the point where Apple reversed its decision.

  I don't think Google is legally allowed to host child porn on its servers so I'm not sure why there should be outrage about that

    Nobody knows what Google scans for, in which regions, at the behest of which governments. And it can change moment to moment, and nobody knows when it changes.

      Is there a company that doesn't obey the local laws in the regions where it operates?

>It got to the point where Apple reversed its decision. Nice? HN users tend to use more Apple and Linux. If Microsoft gets more of a pass my guess is it's because no one expects anything from them. The opinion of many HN users about Windows and Edge is already very low.
