@RichFelker @Apple You say that, but one week later, we're still talking about it. And everybody understands that Apple isn't doing this "for the children." That matters. — PolitiTweet.org

@RichFelker @Apple Hard disagree. All CSAM is contraband, not all contraband is CSAM. The system scans for digital contraband. It is only being *applied*—for now—to CSAM. Apple can technically make it scan for memes if they wanted, and can't stop China from telling them what to target. — PolitiTweet.org

@RichFelker @Apple Apple is not doing this as part of a crusade to protect children, or they would not allow it the scans to be bypassed by disabling iCloud Photos. They are doing it to be seen to be doing something while minimizing their involvement. This hurt users and doesn't help children. — PolitiTweet.org
