Your data is not others people business

Greasy stinky scummy corporations like Apple love to cover their desire to scan and control your data with pretenses to ‘fight pedophilia’ by scanning your files by hash (that’s what they say they do, for now) and send that files to some ‘person’ to review. First of all, that’s just horrible excuse to put hands on my data - un-sincere “think of the children” that covers desire to profile you, screw you over, fuck with you (non-consensually) is horrendes but effecytive tactics. No, I don’t have to show tim cook my files, nor do I have to prove you anything. Stop manipulating me into thinking I ove you anything. - EU https://9to5mac.com/2023/01/09/apple-privacy-tracking-lawsuit/ ### todo list of data violation
