I will break the HN spirit, but im fucking horrified of this thread. _So_ many people being happy that a company is protecting them from themselves, or their family members. Where is my controversial personal websites? Did i take a wrong left turn somewhere?

If its local scanning, this is fine. Dare I say, its a pretty good use of machine vision.

This is a feature for kid’s devices, not the default setting.

optional things like this are fine. preventing me from joining e.g. NSFW discord servers wholesale is not imo. As an adult I should be able to use my phone however I want

So, I can’t make stickers with penises in them for whatever reason (you’d think they’d lump creating/receiving them in the same setting), but the ‘are you sure you want to send or receive something that looks naughty’ was, in fact, turned off by default for me. Anyone else?

I’ve been to more sex parties than I can count and there’s definitely a significant amount of porn on my iOS devices, so I’d not consider myself prude. Still I think that giving people the option to hide unsolicited dick picks on their devices is a good idea and not prude. I think the same about an option hiding pictures of spiders.

Extrapolating from that we may touch hiding queer or black people, or mixed couples one day, which will be an interesting situation.

Not hotdog

Not sure what the point of this post is.

This feature is entirely opt-in for adults.

Are we going to dedicate a post to every optional feature that we enable and act shocked about?

It's not the nanny state, it was the nanny megacorporation all along.

I think most people would prefer this over CSAM.

I thought IOS 17 was going to feature sideloading? I thought the EU was requiring it?

whatever happened to sideloading in this update anyway
