on: T.S. Eliot was flawed, but a new book reminds of his greatness on the page
“The rats are underneath the piles.
The Jew is underneath the lot.“
TS Eliot spent a good amount of time writing negatively about Jews as diseased or as beasts, particularly when you take into account that TS Eliot wrote very little to begin with.
Anti-semitism wasn’t an uncommon feeling during his time, but even then his work was often deemed anti-Jewish by Jewish critics

Nothing stopping countries from demanding every tech organization does this anyway, it didnt just become a possibility now Apples running code on-device. Also this code can and probably will be able to be activated/deactivated/removed remotely (for better or worse!)

Nothing is stopping these countries from doing this already. China, Saudi Arabia, Iran already consider forcing tech companies to track user activity. At the end of the day these companies are subject to laws of the country they do business in and this has already screwed over HK, Uigher, Iranian, Egyptian citizens. Laws forcing data to be stored in given regions alongside encryption keys has already made it dangerous to be homosexual in these countries you’ve mentioned (except Iran which most businesses cannot do business in)

In a somewhat judo move, it could end up protecting user security going forward if the FBI has no leverage with pedophile content in iCloud, there’s no argument for a backdoor. I won’t play total corporate shill here but it seems people are jumping to this being the end of times vs a) a way to catch severe abusers of child pornography and b) removing a trump card for future security org strawman arguments

If they have the hash/derivative they dont need to look on device or even decrypt, theyll know that data with this hash is on device, and presumably 100s of other matching hashes from the same device

They already scan for bombs and hazardous materials, so yes the line is drawn somewhere between ‘let anything get sent’ and ‘track everything’
