Will you leave the Apple ecosystem because of CSAM?

Yeah, so much for choice and HIPAA protections. I think I ought to hang a sign up at work, "HPV vaccine required for entry.", you know, "for our safety".
Why am I totally unsurprised by that?
I bet you also installed one of those dongles in your car that allows your insurance company to track your driving behavior. If not: You're missing a wonderful opportunity to be surveilled

It also requires Location Services to be active.
But I get your point. It started out as "A" and without a "by your leave" it became something more.
That's the crazy thing. I never signed up nor installed an app for California to use.
I now have Loc Ser turned off.
That’s fine by me. My employer is getting ready to fire anyone unvaccinated.
My state doesn’t have tracing.
Vaccine status is not HIPAA protected. I work in healthcare and know the rules backward and forwards. Anyone can ask your status. You don’t have to answer, and they don’t have to accept you if you don’t. It only applies to transferring or talking about your health data without your consent.
Vaccine passports are a good way to go around that.
I believe you're incorrect on that. ANY health information is HIPAA protected. Making me carry around a vaccine card for entry, or continued employment, *IS* a violation of my personal health privacy.
And before you start preaching to me about not understanding HIPAA, I used to teach HIPAA classes. I've read the rules, cover to cover, several times.
Forcing you to show vaccine status would be a violation. An employer, an airline, another country, a restaurant, etc. can ask you to show your status, and deny you if you refuse.
They can’t force you to show your status, but they can turn you away (legally) if you refuse. It’s your choice to share or not.
I teach hipaa too, and I enforce it. This has been tested in court more than several times. Healthcare has always required the flu shot and TB status as a condition of employment.
And, as with Apple's CSAM detection, I reject the premise of the concept regardless of my vaccination status, which I will not share here. The day my employer requires it is the day I quit.
Well, this is a different topic for discussion. I have my own opinions about the vaccine, the efficacy of said vaccine, the legality of forcing people to get the vaccine, and so forth. I'm going to drop this line of conversation, before a mod drops it for me.
You're better off letting your employer fire you for it than quitting. But I digress.
Agreed. I only brought it up because it fits in with other pieces of a puzzle that all seem to be happening at once...and I don't like the picture it's revealing.Well, this is a different topic for discussion.

Back to feeding the trolls.
I see now where you guys are coming from.

It all makes sense, now. Have a good day.

How?
With how easy Apple supposedly made it to turn this off so Apple doesn’t have to check (they don’t have to anyway) the only ones that might be caught are the idiots who download it and store it in the iCloud. Won’t catch any creators at all.
The design based on the stated intent is laughable at best.
