Apple declined to comment on the NSPCC's accusation, instead
pointing  The Guardian to a statement it made when it
shelved the  CSAM scanning  plan.  Apple said it opted for
a different strategy  that “prioritizes  the security and
privacy of [its] users.” The  company told Wired in  August
2022 that "children can be protected  without companies
combing  through personal data."

Sorry, I can't agree with that.  Some people give up their right to
privacy when they harm others or society.  The laws are there for
everyone, not just those who choose to follow them.

He said it poorly, but "privacy for everyone" IS important in that
when you create a system that purports only to take privacy away from
the bad actors, you are really taking it away from everyone.

  If you're on the internet there is no pretense of privacy.
