Not loaded with trained models on illegal content and wired up to alert the authorities if it finds a match, with presumably several teams within Apple built around that feature. I'm thinking about a lot more than the technical aspects of this.
> It's only your trust in Apple that makes you think it doesn't report anything back now
Yeah, exactly. I trust them enough right now to run tons of stuff without my knowledge on my phone. I don't have the time or knowledge to audit my phone, even if it were Android. If they announced that new feature is going live like it's a thing customers are meant to be ok with, I'd trust them a lot less.
