Become an advertiser. "Selling your data" is a shorthand for what actually goes on: selling your attention based on data that those platforms have on you. Google does this too. Any brand that relies on advertising instead of sales

This basic implementation fact has been misrepresented over and over and over again. Does anyone read anymore? I’m starting to get really concerned. The hacker community is where I’ve turned to be more informed, away from the clickbait. But

I also believe Apple doesn't really want to scan your photos on their servers. I believe their competitors do, and they consider this compromise (scan on device with hashes) is their way of complying with CSAM demands while still maint

>They already scanning all of the photos up on iCloud already I can't find a source for this. Do you happen to have one? It seems to me that Apple doesn't want to host CSAM on their servers, so they're scanning your device

> The obvious conclusion is Apple will start to scan photos kept on device, even where iCloud is not used. Why is this the obvious conclusion?

Both the US government and Chinese government can get whatever they want from both iCloud and IMessage. Best not to use it for anything that could make you a target of theirs.

It’s astounding how many very smart people are getting this wrong. Perhaps I missed it, but does anywhere on this letter mention that that both of these features are optional? CSAM depends on using iCloud Photos. Don’t rent someone else’s c

The US has a rather weak central government. The Chinese-style social credit system isn't necessary, because private corporations already do it. Scanning your ID when you return things, advertising profiles, etc.

I kind of agree with you there. Isn't it just another toggle? Surely if the entire feature is opt-in, the blurring could be a toggle, as well as the notification.

Parents cannot be notified when a child between the ages of 13 and 17 views a blurred photo, though children that are between those ages will still see the warning about sensitive content if Communication Safety is turned on.

Parents need to expressly opt in to Communication Safety when setting up a child's device with Family Sharing, and it can be disabled if a family chooses not to use it.

The feature is opt-in. So, Apple isn't forcing anyone to do anything.

Apple's battle is against Surveillance Capitalism, not against state-level surveillance. In fact, there is no publicly traded company that is against state-level surveillance. It's important not to confuse the two. Think of it thi

I think that was meant to call out the highly modified people that are shown on Instagram. I don't use Instagram, so that comment stuck out to me as well, but I see where the author is coming from.

The registration is cut off for now. The point I was making was that this probably doesn’t have much impact on the usage. If you didn’t have it before, you’re probably reliant on someone else with it and that’s just getting extended by a fe

No idea why you’re being downvoted. This is 100% correct, China requires party members to be on the boards of companies and Xi is the head of the party.

Well, luckily babies are are too young to use WeChat and won’t be old enough by early August for this to impact them.

How many native Chinese don’t have WeChat already? WeChat has 1.2B users. China has 1.4B people. I suspect the rest are too old or too young. Basically, it’s impossible to operate in a city without it.

This is precisely why I voted against abolishing cash bail in California last year. Because they were going to replace it with some "algorithm." I hate cash bail, I think it's garbage, but this black box approach is worse.
