You're artificially adding drama to the phrase "on-device scanning" and I don't think you know what that really means considering the analogy you gave.

Like I mentioned earlier, I'm not on either side but don't allow some people here to try and bully or attack you because they don't agree with your views on this subject about Apple. Some people's fingers never seem to get tired of typing their Apple hatred over and over. You can PLANELY see it.

You know, it was not that long ago that if you left your house during covid lockdown, your neighbors could phone that to the police and they'd take you in. This isn't too far from that, only now an algorithm is doing the snitching. This has zero chance of going sideways at all
Next up - Apple weighs in with an opinion on who my daughter is allowed to date.
100% already cleaning, backing up and preparing to move Betrayal strikes deep
That wasn't the point of Alwis' explanation, no.
Of course no one wants it. That wasn't the point.
On the other hand, I wonder what Apple's scanning systems will make of all the photoshopped Tim Cook photos I'll be adding to Photos.....
Sadly I think the Karen-to-normie ratio is no longer in our favor
Maybe the next Apple will be a company selling mobile phones with a state of the art camera, touchscreen, Bluetooth and WITHOUT a smart OS and WITHOUT internet connection.
For many people this would be enough as they use internet at home only.
The problem of "dumb phones" is nowadays that they lack a good camera, storage space and touch device.
Are all the features of the camera available via the API? If so, I wonder that developing a photo application that encrypts data and allows you to select/configure your own backend storage (local, cloud, both) would be at least one solution for images. Apple would likely not approve the application, as it bypasses functionality they wish to continue controlling.
I don’t think the 4th Amendment includes the phrase “…shall not be violated…unless the odds of breaching security are really low.”
The implications of this are so scary. This tech should not be created…Governments will be begging to implement it ASAP if they’re not already.
Pretty sure Linux (shall we go Arch?) and Copperhead are doing an excellent job. One can also easily configure the network stack to prevent it from "calling home". A thing that Apple prevents because they implemented a functionality that allows their own traffic to bypass any user firewall.
I assume now that Apple is about to do what Google does,many of us will choose Google services which are better anyway.
I’m not sure you know what it means either considering you seem to be oblivious to the implications of this.
100% agree. It's ingrained in their society too; citizens just go along with it at this point. There really should be two different versions of each OS.
I'd say the chances iOS 15 & its derivatives are Boycott now stands @ 20% or so !
2x of what it was just a day ago !
Apple's BIG challenge right now is what to do about the iPhone 13 family.
Go with iOS 15 ?, or go with iOS 14.8 ?
If they decide to go with iOS 14.8, I suspect they will leak it to one of their contacts, so Word Gets Out !
IMO, they don't really have much of a choice, they must go with iOS 14.8.
And naturally, I'm assuming it doesn't include what Apple announced last Thursday.

Apple could always make mistakes with iCloud security too. Arguing software bugs specifically with respect to this feature doesn't quite make sense as the worst case scenario here would be an Apple employee looking at your photos vs all of your photos being public through an iCloud bug.
That's not how it works, no. It's tied to the Apple ID email which is unique for everyone.
What's the reward for causing an inconvenience of an Apple employee reviewing photos that were erroneously flagged and reinstating the account? Not much.
I am delighted to see that Apple Stock is going the way I thougt, it was going.
Talking in pictures: The angle of the curve is not the angle, which would turn the movie into an R18 movie...
Hmmm. I could see it now - an "If You Want to Date My Daughter' app, where the potential suitor's blood type could be pulled from the Health app, his criminal record pulled from the net, photo from the Photos app, a complete map of where's he's been for the last 7 days from Maps, a word count of the number of times drugs, sex or profanity was mentioned in his texts/posts, etc. 🤔
He's not talking about software bugs. Again, review current peer reviewed publications on adversarial attacks.
