In 2007 a photo album came to light of guards at Auschwitz relaxing at a resort not far from a death camp, with gas chambers and ovens and such, the details of which they were well aware. In the photos they can be seen laughing, smiling, making funny faces, singing and joking about running out of blueberries. Historians asked; how could these people be so callous? How could they disconnect and compartmentalize like that? What went wrong with that generation? Why didn’t they care?<p>Now today we know certain things to be true. If Apple, the world’s largest company, deploys this scanning technology on a billion handsets then many offenders will be caught and they will go to jail, and as a consequence a large number of children will be spared the type of abuse that totally destroys lives. Those victims lose everything.<p>I’d wager that for the majority of people on this forum, if they witnessed an adult sexually assault a child in person then they would intervene. Even if considerable risk was involved. There’s plenty of reward in saving a helpless child. But take that reward away, without the incentive, different colors show.<p>Do you care so little about the wellbeing of children you’d let child rapists walk free around the community rather than let a company scan your cellphone for contraband?<p>Perhaps we need to think less about how much we trust the government we elected or fear the potential negative future consequences of technology, and think more about being remembered as a human being that simply cared for others.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rarehistoricalphotos.com&#x2F;laughing-at-auschwitz-1942&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rarehistoricalphotos.com&#x2F;laughing-at-auschwitz-1942&#x2F;</a>
