Apple reportedly plans to make iOS detect child abuse photos

Then you have excellent, verifiable answers to any questions and there won't be a problemshamino said:Abuse is more than just child pornography, and non-pornographic abuse photos are not illegal.What happens if I visit Amnesty International's web site, read a few articles, and view photos of children that were beaten by an abuser? Is Apple going to tell law enforcement that I am now abusing children simply because I have the pictures on my phone? What if I decide to save these photos in order to republish them on a blog or in a newsletter? What if I work for Amnesty and took the photos myself?...Nothing you've described is a nightmare, all are very easily solvable with a simple conversation.Of course, because when the police arrest you on accusations of a serious felony, the always believe you when you try to give an explanation. They have never been known to confiscate all your personal electronics and leave you to sit in jail while they conduct their own investigation.Simple conversations don't work when you've been pre-judged as a pedophile. And anything you say can and will be used against you.I hope you can afford a good lawyer, because the ones appointed by the court won't listen to you either. They'll try to convince you to plead to a lesser charge.

Apple reportedly plans to make iOS detect child abuse photos
Abuse is more than just child pornography, and non-pornographic abuse photos are not illegal.What happens if I visit Amnesty International's web site, read a few articles, and view photos of children that were beaten by an abuser? Is Apple going to tell law enforcement that I am now abusing children simply because I have the pictures on my phone? What if I decide to save these photos in order to republish them on a blog or in a newsletter? What if I work for Amnesty and took the photos myself?And what about law enforcement officers, who are obligated to take photos of abuse victims? Will they also be subject to this automated system? And if not, does that create a loophole where a crooked cop can trade in this filth without scrutiny?i don't see a possible way that this feature could be implemented without it becoming a nightmare scenario. Both the false positives and false negatives will destroy people's lives, even if the problems are eventually corrected.The only way to win this game is to not play.

Elon Musk asking to be Apple CEO allegedly led to profanity-laced tirade from Tim Cook
StrangeDays said:This article fails to mention the book author’s name, but he now has zero credibility. I very much doubt this happened IRL.AI failed to mention it. FWIW, The LA Times book review it links to names the author: Tim Higgins. And provides a link to the LA Times Bookshop site, where you can pre-order a copy.

US Customs seizing record numbers of fake AirPods
If it's like the last time this made the news, then the new product doesn't look much like Apple's product and doesn't have any Apple branding but is somehow being accused of being "counterfeit" nevertheless.Apple is trying to pretend that they have an exclusive right to the concept of wireless earbuds and they're using US Customs to enforce that nonsense. At least against small no-name companies. They are steering clear of going after Samsung or other big players who are selling the same things.

Apple releases MagSafe Battery Pack for iPhone
How much thicker does that make the phone?
And wouldn't it look a lot better if Apple would just make the whole phone a bit thicker and fill the extra space with a bigger battery? And as a happy side-effect, get rid of the camera bump as well.
