Why invest in a company that abuses customer’s privacy for a slippery slope?

‘Facts Should Matter’…

Just to Clarify…it is iOS Mobile and iOS Cloud , not Android (Samsung)…

The Technology is called ‘HASHING’

For Images, Photos, and the Like…it is NOT 100% Accurate…there is generally a fault rate of less than 1%…so it is not perfect; unlike on numerical or alpha-numerical sequences….so therein lies the PROBLEM…
..the algorithms create lots of false positives…

Not sure if you remember this, but a few year back, they busted Alexa, Siri and couple of other devices for being hacked. Kids would be playing with their toys and yell “Mom, some man is talking to me on the Alexa”.
So who is to say, with this software, what some rogue employee could do with it.

Sex offender truth

My Phone is so old, that I have to crank a handle to turn in on. The the telegraph lady (Last one left on earth) transfers my messages and calls through the telephone line. Takes about a week for my call to reach California.
On a real note, I am surprised my phone still works. It stopped doing updates in 2019

I have not used Google for many years now. I used DuckDuckGo for my default search engine and Firefox for my browser.

I do not use any cloud based email (hotmail, aol, gmail) but rather operate my own private server (hosted out of the jurisdiction of the USA gov) on my personal website.

NO Social Media accounts (for countless reasons – privacy being just one)!

They can arbitrarily scan any connection to their software and “find” “suspicious” files or material. Complete over reach, breach of privacy on Apple’s part but I don’t know that it is all that different from the way CP is “found” using Torrential Downpour or other software law enforcement uses. Maybe the difference is you know Apple is monitoring you? It’s all suspect of breach of privacy in my opinion. I don’t know how the sanctity of the “home” and privacy related to it has been eaten away at so easily aside from the highly emotional subject of sexual abuse.

TRUTH, it’s not that you have nothing to hide, your molehills are no longer private and are now open to inspection and interpretation.

It’s profitable for the U.S Government to circumvent privacy (for obvious reasons).

That is a very vague statement and therefore very dangerous!

If we can’t stand up for people who we hate and their rights, won’t be long before all of our rights are gone. The citizens have allowed politicians, law enforcement, and government officials to get away with it. At what point will people get out of their fantasies and see all that’s happening now.
