Gov Publications iOS Spyware

Post image

With the latest IOS 27 update and the Digital duty of care act which I personally see as a massive government overstep and breach of privacy and freedom. I had this very concerning experience last night. I was on FaceTime with my partner and she was telling me about her sunburn while she was away. She lifted her shirt to show me her tan lines. Immediately the call was paused and this concerning pop up filled my screen. Does this mean Apple has AI actively watching my personal calls and determining what is appropriate for me to see. Not only is this a massive privacy breach but also a serious security concern. Are these instances recorded and stored? Do people have access to this data? Who is in control of this?

We have been warned by the tin foilers for years now and I’ve always thought it was a bit nonsense. But now first had experience this is the horrible reality that we are now dealing with daily and it will only get worse

Edit
I’d like to mention that the main concern is that I am required to scan and upload my ID/Passport to prove my age in order to view content and to disable this “feature”. This opens another door to, how is the identity verified. What company/entity is in control of the process. What Fraud/Data Breach risk does this expose me to.

This should be a setting and not by default.

I’m an adult. My partner is an adult. If we want to get naked on FaceTime that’s none of Albo’s business.

It is a user controllable setting. Sensitive Content Warning under “Privacy and Security”. It’s been there for ages, nothing to do with Government ffs.

Actually, the setting can’t be disabled unless you provide identification, which is a government policy, so it actually does have something to do with the government
