They keep saying otherwise, but I feel like there's way too many ways for this child porn thing to go wrong. Like, it's an admirable objective, but people have some pictures of their kids that could easily be confused with something exploitative or inappropriate

It's only pics identified by the NCMEC as child porn. But, holy smokes, building a machine that sifts through your user data never seems to work out awesome. I am surprised Apple took such an openly aggressive and exploitative step against privacy. But they'll now be able to cut in to that advertising share Google and Microsoft already openly exploit.

False equixially fallacy. Companies rights to allow what content they want on a site is protected by the 1st amendment and section 230. Apple has a right to search any phone on their network as well, but they will lose many, many users b/c they have embarrassing or sexual things it doesn't want apple seeing and leaking (data breaches for apple, 2021 Israeli software hack, 2019 google finds weakness in iphones, 2015 xcodeghost malware leak, etc etc etc) It's not about hiding illegal porn.
