An open letter against Apple's new privacy-invasive client-side content scanning
Honestly I&#x27;m glad to see a non-insignificant amount of people in tech take this seriously, especially when the goal Apple announces appears to be for the greater good. It can be hard to stand on the side that doesn&#x27;t immediately appear to be correct. We have already lost so many freedoms for &#x27;national security&#x27; and other such blanket terminology.<p>Just be warned, there will be those that unfairly try to cast this as helping the distribution of CP. Expect a headline tomorrow: &quot;Edward Snowden et al Supports Child Porn&quot; - or some other hot take.<p>A few other things:<p>1. Vote with your feet - Put your money in the pockets of the people aligned to your values.<p>2. Actively support projects you align with - If you use some open source hardware&#x2F;software, try to help out (financially or time).<p>3. Make others aware - Reach out to those around you and inform them, only then they can make an informed choice themselves.
