Apple’s implementation ultimately was good. It’s opt in, it’s on device only and it links children to pages about grooming and avoiding it, tells them it isn’t their fault, etc. I suppose the only bad thing is it might send an alert to their parents if they’re teenagers enrolled in it as preteens though it’s supposed to ask for ages and for teens I think it just gives them links to what grooming is and warns them they shouldn’t do it before allowing them to view it anyways after tapping. So in the end I think Apple handed it as reasonably as could be done and asking for more as the surveillance police state that is the UK is just for control not to help kids.
Fact is they are freaking out still about support for Palestine and awareness of the genocide and even the limited understanding of Ukraine being a nazi state among 5% of the population. They want back uncontrolled hegemony over the information space and this is a good way to backdoor it in. You put this in, then add a demand later to bolt onto this system a way to block “proscribed memes, images and videos”, you use Microsoft’s photoDNA meant for detecting CSAM and you add to it anti-imperialist memes, information videos and photos and you get reports on undesirables to blackbag or sanction and prevent the spread of counter-propaganda. It’s about total control of information and the population. It’s beyond the wildest dreams or aspirations of any past state whether socialist under siege, fascist, etc and it’s wild that people are just kind of yawning at it because most have been inured to passively accept surveillance by Facebook (itself a CIA project really) and the like.
Remember when Apple did this?
