This legislation allows regulators to demand that encrypted platforms like WhatsApp and Signal implement backdoors to scan for CP. Redditors aren't happy about that, naturally.
More importantly, platforms will also need to show they are committed to removing content promoting or facilitating suicide or self-harm.
I'll miss you guys

You're a highly neurodivergent dramatard, even by rdrama standards. Not a single person you talk to is a normie. You severely underestimate how dumb "average" is.

"Privacy" mentioned once in small font lmao. Your claim would hold more weight if Apple actually put Privacy front and center as a selling point in their marketing material.
There was no cost to doing so. You think the U.S. is going to stop a trillion dollar U.S. company from doing business, just because some r-slurred pigs made some r-slurred requests?

I fully agree normies don't understand technology. It's part of my thesis most people making fun of Zoomers tech habits are operating on a faulty assumption that people before understood computers. This doesn't mean they don't get the concept of "I don't want the government having access to my messages / photos / etc"
They've run multiple ad campaigns with this as their thesis
Recent one that was influenced by overturn of Roe v. Wade (women don't want their health data used against them).

You think Apples not willing to drop 70m people from iMessage to make a point?

One ad on youtube barely seen by anyone
Nice virtue signaling, very wise for the U.S. market.
Have you forgotten that Apple already caved to a foreign government?

I don't get why you think Apple is some "principled" outlier? Like any other Gigacorp, it's something like an emergent hivemind whose utility function is to solely make $$$. Other than $$$, it has no principles.
I think it's purely a cost benefit analysis based on how well they can damage control vs the loss in direct profit. Given that they've already caved once before in China with minimal fallout, I'm squarely on the side of them caving again.
Plus bongs aren't People, so who cares what Apple does to them.
