So. Apple announced they are searching iPhone images for "underage" content.
And searching encrypted messages for "sexually explicit" content. (That one would seem to cover a lot of possibilities.)
And lock accounts and turn over to authorities.
So yet one more way we get burned by the damn pedos.
This would seem to be one more reason for the long-standing warning:
Don't use your stupid damn cellphone for anything you want to keep private!
This is nothing new, and has been done for Decades. Staying away from 'big namers' can help (avoid Apple, Amazin devices, facebook). 'Sexual content' has also been used for decades. This has nothing to do with 'the pedos', again, if you own a phone and number, ANY service really, you're already seeping data.
It's fine to use your phone, you just need to be smart about which applications you use. Let's not forget, if they can 'read encrypted messages', they're not encrypted. Signal, Telegram, are two of the best sources to use for secure communications.
