Apple’s new abuse prevention system: an antritust/competition point of view
Apple will release this in their desktop pcs. The major consequence of this is that, a year down the line, microsoft will also be compelled/forced to join this "coalition of the good". After all, they already scan all your files for viruses, it would be a shame if they didn't scan for anything that is deemed incriminating and also call the cops on you. Of course, the children are being used as a trojan horse again. We don't even mention the giant logical leap from finding someone possessing CP to automatically considering them a child molester, yet someone posessing ~~an action~~ a murder video is not considered a murderer.<p>I m just imagining the situation where these companies took the initiative to scan all their users data in a situation like the attach in US capitol this year. Creating new affordances for spying always leads to their abuse in the first chance when an extreme circumstance occurs. So there is no excuse for creating those affordances just "because they can"
