Is aljazeera.com the only outlet willing to cover this aspect of Apple's decision? It seems like the US media is effectively ignoring the complaints.

NY Times had an article covering it yesterday - https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/18/technology/apple-child-ab...
The article seems to cover both sides of the argument fairly and nails the concerns over Apple's on-device scanning:
> If governments had previously asked Apple to analyze people’s photos, the company could have responded that it couldn’t. Now that it has built a system that can, Apple must argue that it won’t.

Seems so, our corporate media is largely comprised of cowards and pay-for-play.
Most media is deeply unprofitable, and it compensates for this by taking payment for ads disguised as organic content (have first hand experience with this that has honestly made me cynical).
Most media won’t bite the hand that literally feeds them.
