Apple recently announced that they will start scanning phones for child porn. Apple will start scanning all of the photos in your phone, anywhere in the world. This technology we are told will only scan your phone for faces and will only flag the photos with a face. Those photos will then be reviewed and if child porn is detected, Apple will then notify the FBI.
On the surface this sounds really good. I mean, who could be against Apple cracking down on child porn on their devices? If you have nothing to hide then what is the problem?
Anyone who is paying attention to what is currently happening to our country and the very dangerous slope we are headed down can tell you what the issue is with this technology and what will be coming in the near future. This will start with Apple just trying to detect and report child porn but it will not stop there.
This technology will open the door for them to detect and report absolutely anything they want. I’ve been told by people so many times that “Well I’m not doing anything wrong and I have nothing to hide”. Well, the issue is you aren’t really in charge of deciding what is considered “wrong”. Been to a Conservative campaign event lately? Is it really a stretch to believe that Apple is going to start flagging those photos and reporting those to the FBI even though you may not have even committed a crime? Is it that much of a stretch to think that the FBI will start targeting attendees of Conservative events after we have seen the FBI arrest and hold people in solitary confinement just for attending the January 6th rally in DC? And I’m not saying that the people who actually committed violence shouldn’t be charged with crimes. They absolutely should be. But solitary confinement without a court date? By the way this isn’t just some “right wing conspiracy theory” website that is reporting this but even Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren have called for this to end.
Or after the role that the FBI played in the plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. We were originally told that they were only infiltrating this kidnapping plot to arrest those involved and stop the kidnapping. Now we find out that the FBI had a much bigger role then previously thought and a new report claims that the FBI had a hand in nearly every step of the alleged plot and that they went as far as arranging the meeting between two groups that wouldn’t have met otherwise.
Or we could look at the 2016 election where the FBI spied on the Trump campaign and then forged an email to get the wiretap renewed and continue the spying on Donald Trump, who was a private citizen at the time. The FBI intentionally altered an email from the CIA to frame Carter Page and accuse the Trump administration of colluding with Russia when there was no evidence. (For more information on that check out https://levimikula.com/president-obamas-inspector-general-debunks-democrat-talking-points-in-report/ and https://levimikula.com/new-ig-report-proves-fbi-tried-to-influence-the-2016-election-and-i-have-the-document-to-prove-it/)
The list goes on and on. After all of this, why should we trust that the FBI isn’t going to abuse this and start targeting private citizens just because of which political party they support?
The other piece to this is Big Tech. For the last few years they have been doing whatever possible to kick anyone who doesn’t line up with their political philosophy off of their platforms. Donald Trump was banned from Facebook and Twitter after supposedly “inciting an insurrection” on January 6th and yet we have yet to see any evidence of him calling for his supporters to overthrow the government. Not only is there no evidence that he called for an overthrow of the government but the “insurrection” started before he was even finished speaking? BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stucky was recently suspended from Twitter after referring to a transgender Olympic athlete as a “man” and claimed that “men shouldn’t compete against women in weightlifting.” BlazeTV host Dave Rubin was suspended from Twitter (in which they claim was an “error” yet somehow these “errors” only happen to Conservatives) after tweeting his opinion on vaccine mandates. I was recently banned from Medium for posting “extreme content” and yet they have refused to provide any examples of which content I shared that they found to be “extreme”. With how eager Big Tech is to silence anyone who doesn’t fall in line would it really comes as a surprise if Apple starts flagging pictures of someone who attended what they deem an “extremist” event?
We are headed down an extremely dangerous road and it’s going to continue to get worse and worse until you are living in a full police state if you do not take a stand.
