Unbelievable: now circulating a propaganda letter describing the internet-wide opposition to their decision to start checking the private files on every iPhone against a secret government blacklist as "the screeching voices of the minority." This has become a scandal.
Aren`t they literally marketing/advertising their newest phone as being more private? Everyone tracking you goes away with the push of a button...
And still, people will buy Apple products because they are "good" ... or/and people don`t care because they have "nothing to hide"
Im not happy about this but Im also not rich enough to buy a different phone
Is that what Putin told you to tweet today or what is someone in the FSB?
I actually might switch back to Android (one of its security focused derivatives) from this
arrogance is showing here. They cant be allowed to look through all of their customers private information. Just to possibly find some child pornography.
If they have this capability, the government will exploit it. Blind subpoena w/gag order and no one would even know until its used against them.
Apple applying woke strategy, why the surprise.
I have a great deal of respect for those who try to fight the darkest corners of our world. BUT, those who stare into the abyss for too long and live in that hell they fight sometimes lose perspective, and the ends justifies ANY means. This feels a step too far.
One word. Snapchat
At this point I`m thinking that most probably someone at Apple will have access to a copy of every video flagged as child abuse...
I already prepared to exit this downhill company stock is gonna crash!!! i would understand server scans to some point but not phone scans that our property.
Im good with it, I have nothing to worry about
So how is it living in a country that respects everyone`s individual freedoms? You can blink the answer in morse code.
Well Ill be switching
For me the most disturbing thing is how are they gonna establish a ML model for this ?
Well uses slave labor do you expect anything less?
Signal App is the only answer to the government and big tech spying on us. Scary!
Or it`s intentional BECAUSE it will leak and it`s following the script of labeling opposition as fringe and wrong
time to throw iphone!!
Really what gives?
I am looking at new phone already. Screw apple. They may say they will pushback but they will move forward with monitoring on the low. Anyone has good recommendation?
What happened Tim? Havent had an android in a minute but i might have to switch over
Dont got none, wont be none.
Maybe they should listen to the voice of a victim, hunter of perpetrators and privacy advocate CSAM really is the perfect excuse to start normalizing the routine scanning of private info. Who wouldn`t want to stop Child Abuse? Opposing that just makes you sound like a monster.
The world is ripe for a new smartphone competitor running secure independent software. But it would have to be Swiss or similar.
If this wasn`t dramatic this would be particularly funny as until recently they were airing tv ads about "We sell you a product, WE don`t take a peek into your data (contrary to Google and others)".
Yeah, we all know that the majority of people really loves to be oppressed!
Look here, "no over there",.xthe problems seem obvious.
What is doing is insane.
"Screeching voices of the minority" in the country that is currently hosting you are being jailed, tortured, and murdered. And this is not what bothers you, but Apple`s internal memo?
Is there another brand or mobile device that isnt/wont do this?
You mean that they have not been doing it till now
Hmmmm is it though? I mean yes, sucks they have to do this to protect children but I mean if you have nothing to hide is it that bad if it protects kids from predators? I like my privacy and others but something needs to be done to help the helpless.
The Apple commercial awhile back makes sense now
I would like to know that I too am very concerned by the proposed surveillance (I am a longtime iPhone user). I hope reconsiders and does not implement this
doesn`t have permission to use individuals wifi to snoop and pilfer through anyones personal belongings. Definitely would be grounds for a huge lawsuit.
Apples actions make me screech with explosive diarrhea, but hey, my phone has a flashlight!

Do the feds have something big on some badapples? Who else? Do this and it all goes away. what else is in your cloud?
A basic marketing method to hide a weakness is to revert the message insisting on this top feature ! In their last keynote, Cook strongly highlighted their privacy values... Current behaviour clearly demonstates they`re acting by the book, and Apple is not reliable anymore.
This is what non opensource software does to people.
Drop your Apple away. Use a Android OS like or get APP from or Just get Rid of those who want to track and Surveil you.
Even if it were a `minority` (which it isn`t), in a true democratic republic minorities have the right to speak their minds and defend their rights against the wishes of a temporary majority, specially when it isn`t a majority but the wishes of a big corporation.
So pedos will just stop using Apple productswhat is the real reason behind this?
Maybe thats their hidden intent. Apple had to give the government something. If they are bad with communication about it, and cause enough uproar, they can turn around and tell the government we tried it but no one wants it.
Im staggered that employees fall for this type of BS. Were saving the kids by breaching individuals privacy and its okay because must save kids. How can anyone fall for this? Apple employees need to defend the rights of their users. This will be used by governments
apples commitment to a total surveillance society is complete. I was seriously considering an iPhone liking Apple`s provision apps must provide privacy. timcook best of the best ASSHOLE.
Apples tactics is kinda useless anyway. It only scans to match for existing image hashes, not new ones. So the new content would still get produced and distributed. Like, with iPhones camera.
I knew I was right I knew all this stuff that they were doing to you know upbring minority history and all the things that they stood up for and stand for when they`re just going to tear it all down to the way they want it to
APPLE = GOVERNMENT ... for now. Humans awakening and will tear down both I`d imagine. Guess what for the statement I just made I would be labeled as a domestic terrorist by my own government. It`s dark times, and they will come for you if you stand up.
This right here really pushes me away from Apple, currently selling my daily driver
let`s get the hashtag apple1984 get trending, agreed?
