That would be fine if it was in the cloud. It's on my device.Thank god I’m not American
How did you guys elect Trump then on to Biden?
You guys just think so differently……..
In simple terms, iCloud functions costs you cents, no one else provides it or its currently level of security.
I’m not sure how you think you are going to escape this if you can’t come to terms with it, someone some how is going to scan your data.
I’m assuming you don’t live in the United States.. or misssed a lot of Civics classes.
You seem very open to other viewpoints, such as trans rights. What happens when there is a CSAM database for trans violence in China? They already have access at the data center level there...this is the problem. It is not corporations working alone. They turn over what they find to the authorities without a warrant.
What do you mean by trans violence? If you mean a government trying to crack down on the LGBT community, I feel like these countries known for their mistreatment of minorities were already cracking down on certain minorities long before Apple even released the iPod. For example, a black person in the US is already more likely to be pulled over by cops, get harsher punishments than whites and live in area that's underfunded. Or Palestinians in Israel are already opposed by the government there.
How do people not see this? It’s crazy what a made up mind will do for learning these days…or head in the sand. There wasn’t a firestorm for nothing over this. Tim Cook literally backed down under pressure, external and internal. ..backed down for now.
No, I know that mass surveillance exists. I know my online behavior is monitored if not by a government, a company that hopes to make money off me and my data. I'm specifically talking about not seeing how Apple's current CSAM detection system will harm me compared to say, the rise of right-wing terrorism.
So then why in the name of all that is holy would you be on favor of more surveillance?
Not in favor, I've accepted that almost anything I do with modern devices has a chance of being monitored/scanned/hacked into. With enough determination, if the police or even a tech savvy stalker wanted me, they'd have the websites I visit, my web searches, social media accounts, my usual locations, even my hardware and data on my personal drives.
But they don't have to. You can mitigate a lot of these things. I have. It is pretty painless. Granted not everyone is going to roll your own cloud server (thank you Unraid), but one could use cryptomator on dropbox.
I've noted that, as well. I suppose, though, can be the nature of any controversial issue that gets discussed.
A simple Synology NAS will provide most of what iCloud gives providing you also implement a back up solution which costs no more than iCloud, you just have the initial setup costs but you now own your own data.
As a layperson, if I had to guess the medical community defined pedophile because I would consider it an illness. But you are right in that in politics different groups will have different definitions. As someone with progressive views, I say a pedophile is someone who is attracted to children. But more bigoted political groups might argue that certain gender identities/sexual orientations, religious groups, or racial groups are pedophiles automatically. Depending on the group, they were already accused of being pedophiles, like how gay men were seen as such in the past, or how today Islamophobes think Muslims are a bunch of wife beating pedophile North Africans and Arabs.
