Nothing will stop it, once the tech exists it will be used, just a matter of time.
Apple claims that an offending image must appear in at least two countries' databases. But really, what would stop that is that it's just not a very useful surveillance method. Remember that the system matches specific photographs, not subjects or concepts. And the user would need several images matches before Apple would be notified.
Only live in a government approved way or you will be prosecuted immediately.
And this style of argument, that nitpicks back-and-forth about the flaws in the other's analogy (every analogy has flaws) while the original point is lost… well, that's a lot like a meandering country road that gets rougher and more overgrown the longer you travel on it!
Auto driving cars would do that for you too btw. The rest is off topic.
What’s to stop any government from requiring similar of android, or windows?
Wait, so you're against any form of on-device processing related to the protection of children, because that's a violation of your autonomy and privacy… but you're in favour of stopping people from having consensual sex unless they have government approval? Or are you advocating forced abortions for unapproved mothers?
I’d argue selling my information is the LEAST of such worries. They can sell all they want to advertisers, but hell I’d hate being arrested because of a few clips from pxrnh0b.
Those clips are likely copyright infringing already and the police are already pushing to get constant, perpetual, on-demand access to citizens phones.
Two angry stalkers!
Yeah, but it seems monkey heads can only come up with so many ways to do so and we have exhausted all possible options, leaving mass surveillance our last resort.
Doesn't seem like that should be Apples job though?
Or bigger vocabularies? Shirasaki is going to wear a hole through his cranky pants if he doesn't let up.
