On August 5, 2021, Apple announced new technological measures that Apple will apply to almost all of its devices under the umbrella of "Extensive Child Protection" (https://www.apple.com/child-safety/). While child abuse is a serious problem, and while efforts to combat it are almost certainly well-intentioned, Apple's proposal introduces a back door that threatens to protect essential privacy for all users of Apple products.
This has provoked strong protests from experts and specialists in Internet security and privacy.

Experts around the world have sounded the alarm over how Apple's proposed measures could turn any iPhone into a device that continuously scans all photos and messages that are scanned through it to remove any content Report the protest to law enforcement and set an example where our personal belongings become a radical new tool for aggressive surveillance, with little surveillance to prevent possible misuse and unreasonable expansion of the scope of surveillance.

its fascinating that Apple can ruin its reputation for being privacy-friendly that fast. I do wonder if it sets a precedent for on-device scanning of photos.
