On the contrary, I think it would be very popular to say that someone who directly caused the crash out of negligence should be required to give blood to save the victim.
You're referring to a version of the violinist argument: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Defense_of_Abortion#The_viol...
Your version is actually pretty similar to a normal pregnancy (the woman brought about the pregnancy through her actions and now has to decide whether its morally okay to stop the babies' use of her body).
I think it's very hard to justify abortion along these lines and might be easier just to try to show that the fetus is non-human and doesn't have rights.
Sure, he can get a bit philosophical, but to be honest the podcast wouldn't have grown to where it is now just on the guests alone.
Can you expand on this part? Never heard of this before.
I think you're probably right with your second paragraph.
I don't think any of this is true.
This is kind of missing the point. Even if it were to result in a "better world", the intuition is that it is still wrong to murder the innocent man to save 5, just prima facie. This is a problem for the utilitarian.
Their best response might be to just bite the bullet, but it significantly weakens their argument overall.
If you think killing the healthy man is wrong, you probably don't agree with utilitarianism.
Apple has always had the decryption keys for encrypted photos stored in iCloud, so this isn't new. They never claimed that your photos were end-to-end encrypted. I'm not sure how this is a "backdoor" unless you think there's a risk of either something like AES getting broken or Apple storing the keys in a way that's insecure, both of which seem unlikely to me.
>Also, what controls exist on those who have to review the material? What if it's a nude photo of an adult celebrity? How confident are we that someone can't take a snap of that on their own phone and sell it or distribute it online? It doesn't have to be a celebrity either of course.
I'm equally interested in the review process. But while perceptual hash collisions are possible, it seems unlikely that multiple random nude photos on the same device would almost exactly match known CSAM content, which is the threshold for Apple reviewing the content.
Sounds bright to me.
