> One last try, after that I'll stop since you are all over these submissions defending Apple here.

Ad hominem is bad faith. It’s usually a sign that you know your arguments don’t hold up.

> What Apple is doing now is checking you photos before you put them in the envelope.

No, an ‘envelope’ is a totally misleading analogy. This has nothing to do with sending messages.

If you want an analogy try this one: Apple provides a warehouse for people who want to store copies of their precious photos. They give you a copier to make copies of your photos, you give them the copies, and they file them.

Because they don’t want a vault full of child porn, then equip the copier with a scanner to detect known child porn while it makes the copy.

That is all that is happening here. No sniffing through communications as they see fit, only a way to prevent you from uploading child porn to their service.

Anyone saying otherwise simply isn’t being truthful.
