Very glad to see EFF put this out there. We’re just some of the people who saw the problem coming before others. Now others are catching up. Also, had this username since the Apple CSAM debacle and we all see how that went. Stay positive!

Glad to see this is being brought up. It’s obnoxious how many companies are throwing recycled plastics into consumer goods (watch bands, hats, phone cases, some clothes even) with no regard to health consequences. I’m all about being better

In the years since, manufacturing problems have emerged[1] not only in the 737 but at other factories where Boeing makes its 787 Dreamliner, a U.S. military refueling tanker and Air Force One replacement jets[2], as well as at some of its k

It is not the same result. Scanning on your device using inaccurate methods is not the same thing as uploading your photos. The method that Apple is describing is going to cause more harm than good. Look how faulty their methodology is - ev

It’s not the same scanning. Apple’s scanning is on device while Google and others scan for CSAM in their respective clouds.

The iPad is great for notes, reviewing articles, artistic stuff with the pencil. For everything other than that, I have found it overhyped, overpriced, and severely limited in functionality. If you’re interested, I would argue getting a che

I’m keeping my 12 on iOS 14 for as long as possible. Keeping an eye on this issue and their potential antitrust case. Voting with my wallet and canceled my 2TB plan. Will not be buying any of their hardware anymore.
