Puritan Apple declares war on flesh

iPhones will scan for naked bodies

Fruit and nutty cargo cult Apple has decided to purge all naked bodies from iPhones and will scan for what its software experts say are “sexually explicit images” in the Messages app on iPhones, iPads, and Macs.

In the latest “think of the children” measure, Apple’s scans will be on phones used by under 18s. Apple is rolling out the feature to iOS users in the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. But apparently, it’s already live in Canada as part of the iOS 15.5 beta update.

Parents terrified of their teens seeing naked flesh can toggle the app on in the Screen Time settings. Any incoming or outgoing nude photo is automatically blurred and warning notifications pop up to provide the child (or teen) with guidance on how to seek help, redirecting them to online safety resources and reassuring them that it’s OK if they do not want to see the photo or to continue the conversation.

If the kid is younger than 13 the Messages app triggers a text exchange with the child’s parents or guardians. No word what happens if the pic was sent by their parent or guardian or Roman Catholic priest.
