Exactly, this is nothing new.

This is not good news for TBoy.

You'd think someone who claims to be an attorney would know that. Even the NSA has some checks and balances. Dude watches too many movies.
We can compare clearance and our respective SF-86 forms from my time at DOJ and your time in the Army but that’s not really the point here. I’ll trust you don’t have the tiny baby dick like that other guy in this thread when we engage in our proverbial measuring contest.
The point is that NSA contractor nerd in a cubicle has been jerking it to your girlfriend’s sexy pics for at least 20 years now and you’ve chosen this iCloud news to get in a fuss about.
Lawyer this and lawyer that but with parallel construction and the heaviest of the rubber stamps in the FISA courts, you and I both know this snooping has been going on long before Apple came out with this news today.
Which is why I only draw out my nudes by hand and send them via trusted carrier pigpen in today’s world.

First, that has been going on for years. Second, the practice is still illegal and usually a good way to lose your clearance. Third, this article is talking about jilted lovers abusing their position to spy on people which is unethical and wrong.
Apple is taking a blanket carte blanche approach that is much more intrusive while telling people they care about privacy. Not even a close comparison.
But as a lawyer on the internet, you know Apple is not bound by the 4th Amendment. They can change their terms of service and you can either agree or leave their ecosystem.
Between the Apple/Android operating systems capturing it at the point of entry or the providers slicing it off as it crosses networks or the NSA literally tapping fiber wires when they come onshore, I’ve long resigned myself to nothing I do on a phone is secure or anonymous.
Maybe this will swing the pendulum back towards severing the cord and more face to face interaction (hyphens omitted).

There is no safe place now. At least Apple is letting people know about it, I guess.
Google is freaky about what it analyzes and collects. They won't admit to shite unless they are required to by law and whistleblowers are involved.
Other phones that tout privacy are likely compromised by the Chinese government.

Apple will roll out an update later this year that will include technology in iPhones and iPads that allows the tech giant to detect images of child sexual abuse stored in iCloud, the company announced Thursday.
So I guess this means they will catch Hunter red handed, and turn over material to law enforcement and they will arrest him now ? NOT A CHANCE!!!

Does this mean all the Epstein connections with the Clintons and all the other pedos in government will be made public?

OK, but what's next????????????? You know they give you the easy stuff to agree with first then comes the trap where you get screwed because you disagree with their popular opinion. It's coming next.

I mean, if they are only using it on the icloud data and not raw data on the phone, it’s actually not violating your phone but your cloud storage.
You could just not use the cloud storage, but I know that is too much hardship for some people.

I love how your whole argument is "but MuH GubMiNT has been doing it for years they know what's best and I'm so Smart"
In your usual hubris you fail to miss the point completely. It doesn't matter if a private company or the government is doing it. It's intrusive.

I'd rather not have this even be possible to be honest. I see it's hash checks so there shouldn't be much of a false positive risk for child pornography, but now FBI has the ability to tell Apple to check against their database and since it's now possible to do so and a feature implemented to check arbitrary photos actually exists, that argument is now out of the window so who are Apple to stop them?
We've had kind of similar situations before, where FBI asks Apple do bend to the law for more or less kosher reasons, but then Apple has been able to say "Sorry, we don't store this information" or "Sorry, we don't build backdoors into our phones". Quite the false pretense.

They already monitor every keystroke, mouse click, phone call you make, listen in on your microphone, and take periodic pictures on every single cell phone camera and webcam in America. Wake up. They're just admitting it and being more brazen about it so they can more openly do these things
