    I imagine this will inspire people who have those types of images to either delete them all or move to Android. And I assume Google will implement the same checks at some point so they don't become known as that type of platform. (Maybe they already are.) I can't really see this tech as being helpful to China, Russia, or other dictatorships since people tend not to store self-incriminating photos on their devices. Wait, China might want to find images of Tank Man or Tiananmen Square, since those things never happened. Well, never mind.
    Move to Android, eh? I guess you live in some alternate universe. From Google's own mouth... https://protectingchildren.google/intl/en/

    CSAI Match

    CSAI Match is our proprietary technology, developed by the YouTube team, for combating child sexual abuse imagery (CSAI) in video content online. It was the first technology to use hash-matching to identify known violative videos and allows us to identify this type of violative content amid a high volume of non-violative video content. When a match of violative content is found, it is then flagged to partners to responsibly report in accordance to local laws and regulations. Through YouTube, we make CSAI Match available for free to NGOs and industry partners like Adobe, Reddit, and Tumblr, who use it to counter the spread of online child exploitation videos on their platforms as well.

    Little late for that now. Apple already opened that can of worms (if it is actually a problem) just by announcing it. I'd still kind of like to see this implemented. I think Apple has addressed this as best it can, and governments can mandate that companies scan for this stuff with laws regardless of any prior implementation. Tech has kind of created this problem of sharing these CSAM photos easily. I'd like to see them as part of the solution too.

    Agreed - our ability to say, post or store online what we want without consequence has gone too far. This has been caused by the tech companies so it’s really up to them to fix it.

    Uh...so you're against the First Amendment? Freedom of expression? And to what end would you allow law enforcement to monitor content to make sure people are facing consequences for posting inappropriate online content? 
    You clearly don’t understand the First Amendment. 

    'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

    Congress shall make no laws... I have the right to censor speech in my own home. I get to decide who says what in my business. If you work for me and use my internet access, computer, phone, email, I decide what’s appropriate. I get to censor people on the social media platform I own. Only the government is prohibited by the First Amendment from doing so. And by the way, the government does control speech when it comes to certain situations, like incitement to riot, violence, etc.

    Totally agree with the above.  Just want to say tho, it's absolutely disgusting, how a company like Walmart, SAYS "We're going to make contactless payments with or without 'so-and-so' and we'll do the same thing".  This along with other companies, who are:

    NOT Flippin' CAPABLE of DOING IT!!!
    NOT Flippin' CAPABLE of DOING IT!!!

    It's just so stupid how some of these companies don't RESPECT Technological advances, and think they can willy nilly.  (It's like M1 even, bah)

    And I would love to hear how many of these are from the Watch, OMG I am like 4 out of 5 on watch so...

    It's really a crowning achievement by Apple (like said above with NFC being out even b4), to show:

    THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT...

    all I wanna do is bash tho so I'll stop LOL
    Even mom and pop stores are accepting Apple Pay these days. My local donut shop does, my local restaurant does, my local Farmers Market does.

    But not Walmart, not Home Depot.

    Maybe apple should offer to pay their rent for the next 12/24 months
    Apple pays their rent: it’s called salary!

    You know, the money you get to pay for life’s necessities: food, housing, healthcare.

    Or do you think you get paid for life’s luxuries? 🤣
    It's so sad that Americans have to pay for healthcare from their salaries :( 
    So where do you think the government gets its money from, off of trees? It’s TAXES. Either you pay for you healthcare with your salary or you pay for it with your taxes. There is NO free healthcare, never has been ,never will be. Somebody has to pay. Progressives want to redistribute wealth to pay for it, take from those who have wealth and give it to those who don’t. Either way, YOU pay for your healthcare one way or another. And I really don’t understand how hard that is to comprehend.

  • Senate lawmakers introduce bill targeting Apple App Store, Google Play

    lkrupplkrupp
    It’s just a bill, people. Don’t assume it will fly through Congress and be signed by the POTUS tomorrow. Now comes the good part, the behind the scenes cat and mouse game, the lobbyists handing out cash and gifts.

    But in the end, if this does pass, I think small developers will get crushed. Why would Apple spend any time or money promoting apps when they can’t profit from it? The big developers will fund their own marketing.
