Imagine now a young child being sexually abused in front of a camera for all its years of existence, and that there's no knock on the door.

False dichotomy, how long will it take the predators to learn not to use apple devices as cameras?

Yet the privacy implications will last forever. Once it's implemented, it only takes a rubber-stamp warrant to compel Apple to scan your device for anything the government deems concerning. In fact, no warrant needed in most countries.

Which is why you make it mandatory on all devices sold, not just apple.

There are plenty of non-cloud connected digital cameras out there.

So if the camera goes away, the child abuse won’t happen? Somehow I doubt that.
