Apple enabling client-side CSAM scanning on iPhone tomorrow

Not really, and I'm not going to sway anyone deeply into the ecosystem.

My hope is that those of you that share my viewpoint will call your legislators and demand regulations or a break up. There are forces of good within the DOJ that are putting together an antitrust case against Apple, and the more of us that lend our voices, the louder and more compelling the argument.

The DOJ is really the last lever we have, and that's pretty good measure for the power Apple wields.

Other companies seem even less interested in fighting government surveillance so I don't see how weakening Apple will help anything.

Wouldn't you think Apple is doing something like this at the behest of DoJ?

Too bad Apple and the rest of big money already have our legislators in their pockets.
