Apple should scan iPhones for child abuse images, says scanning tech inventor

I presume he wouldn't have invented such a specific technology if he didn't believe in it. I presume Phillip Morris think cigarettes are pretty nifty too.

Yeah sure scan iPhones I really don't care lol. But if Android phones get full filesystem scans I'm basically giving up phones.

Creating devices that deliberately betray or disobey their owners is a dangerous line to cross.

With the proliferation of internet and phone metadata surveillance, license-plate readers, cameras and facial and gait recognition, we already have barely any privacy left. Now they want to add on-device surveillance on top of all that?
