THIS. I don’t care/I don’t mind companies like Apple or Google using this scanning technology for cloud-based storage services like icloud or google cloud or whatever. But I do not want this creepy surveillance shit on my personal device. Because sure, one day they say that it is used for CSAM. It’s not long before it gets expanded to other stuff like climate crisis protesters/activists or LGBTQ+ content (which need I remind you is illegal in some countries!) or other subjects that the government isn’t a fan of.

No problem!

i’m sorry to tell you but you have swallowed the propaganda from anti-porn/anti-sex work organizations like Exodus Cry and Morality in Media (who now go by the name NCOSE).

I tend to agree generating adult content of real people is unethical, but probably less so than how a lot of real porn is made.

wholeheartedly disagree. “real porn” is literally made by consenting adult performers. Hence, it’s ethical. Generating adult content of real people is (typically) done without the consent of the people involved, thereby making it unethical.

Better idea don’t install messenger at all

I’d trust some random people running an activity pub server

ok? then host your own. that’s the fucking beauty of decentralized social media.
