> It almost sounds like a feature Apple is building to explicitly support the imprisonment of dissents through tje false planting of child pornography.

But you can already do this without these changes - cf the UK police officer currently under investigation for having CP on her phone that someone else sent her and (she claims) never opened.

I like to think this case will call for reform in these laws.

"Williams was sentenced to 200 hours of unpaid work and placed on the sex offender register for five years, which damages her chances of getting another job.

Williams completed her community service in a charity shop, and having finished the hours the court ordered her to do, returned to volunteer further."

Once again, "People can already do this" is not a rebuttal or a defense.

It's a rebuttal to "is building to explicitly support the imprisonment of dissents" when this is already possible without this new feature.
