Without considering how people felt? They cancelled it! The whole process was about getting feedback on it.

We’re you consulted on how google implemented it server side with google photos? You likely didn’t know!

Only one company chose transparency here.

An Apple VP implied anyone who opposed it didn't understand it. And endorsed an NCMEC director calling them screeching voices of the minority.[1]

I doubt it. It will be quietly implemented. If a techie digs in far enough with RE to prove it, general society will treat them like they wear a tinfoil hat.

What a load of BS. Apple told us it was going to happen, and then quietly canned it when there was backlash. There was no intention of "consultation" or "getting feedback" at all.
