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.

Your problem is you want to invade everyone's privacy regardless of
whether they are hurting anyone. That's the only way CSAM scanning can
work, and why Apple wisely withdrew their proposal even though it
worked harder to preserve privacy than any other solution.

No, I take exception to your statement that privacy is for *everyone*.
There are plenty of people in this world who should have their privacy
and freedom taken away forever.  Many of them their lives too.
