Yes, I'm totally ok with that (I have three kids). What's going to happen? Will they faint? Die? They will probably laugh.

In Rome there were statues of Dionysus sporting a huge erection everywhere. It wasn't a problem.

In Italy today still, you can find postcards of him in the same position. (Granted, they are statues, not images in the flesh, but they're pretty realistic.)

I would have a problem with an adult sending nude pictures of themselves to my kids. But I would confront them myself, I don't need Apple's help in preventing it from ever happening like it's a horrible risk.

It's nothing. Really one of the least important problems ever.

You are OK with strangers sending penis pictures to your kids? At what point of you are not OK with sexual predators?

I don't welcome it. I'm just not terrified, as seems to be obligatory these days. It's quite literally the least of my concerns.

I'm much more worried about my kids being glued to stupid games or "harmless" (but constantly updating) TikTok videos.

They literally wrote out "I would have a problem with an adult sending nude pictures of themselves to my kids".

How do you get "OK with sexual predators" from that?

Probably from what follows: “ It's nothing. Really one of the least important problems ever.”

Just because you feel that way doesn’t mean others do. Everyone parents differently. This is an optional feature that you don’t have to turn on and is off by default.

The same applies to the parent poster I quoted, who was then told they must support sexual predators because of their different parenting.

They didn't tell you to how to feel or tell you how to parent. They stated how they feel and how they parent. You don't have to agree, but that doesn't mean they support sexual predators.

>This is an optional feature that you don’t have to turn on and is off by default.

Yes, that's been well established, and I don't think anyone in this comment chain has said otherwise.

From the chilling reports I have read, sexual predators can do their entire work not needing to send or receive a single (nude) image.
