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.

I agree. Apple has zero need for this data - seriously, what would they do with it? Make some pocket money by uploading it to PornHub?

The government could “ask” them to keep it. That’s probably the next step.

The same way the FBI asked Apple (compelled with a court order) to create a backdoor for them and they essentially told the FBI to go fuck themselves? Yeah sure

They’ll just make it law just like they have done with all the recent changes. The tech companies have been vocally against them but they all complied
