> LGBTQ youth... are more likely to send explicit images like those Apple seeks to detect and report, in part because of the lack of availability of sexuality education.

This is nonsense; a neutral discussion in school about intercourse (straight or gay) isn't going to cause young adults to avoid expressing their sexual urges. If anything it will make them more likely to express such urges, since the neutral discussion in class will make the topic seem more broachable.

What percentage of USA schools do you assume offer such a "neutral discussion about intercourse (straight or gay)"?

If you found the number was 1/10th or 1/100th or 1/1000th as much, would you take action?

Neutral discussion in class?

Yeah maybe in an ideal school, in countries that allow it to begin with, yes because US is only the first one getting on device surveillance.

I don't think history is on your side here.

The bigger issue is various groups routinely treat LGBT content of any kind is inherently "adult", how long until stuff like that slips in again.
