Apple Will Scan All IPhones for Illegal Child Abuse Images, Sparking Privacy Debate
(The Epoch Times) The company has it in iOS 15 (out this month, August), part of a suite of child protection programs that would “evolve and expand.”
Apple's blog post read: “This innovative new technology allows Apple to provide valuable and actionable information to [the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children — WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING] and law enforcement regarding the proliferation of known CSAM,” eferring to an acronym for Child Sexual Abuse Material. (...APPLE PROMOTES DEGENERACY AND HOMOSEXUALITY TO KIDS — THAT'S CHILD ABUSE.)
Apple says: “...it does so while providing significant privacy benefits ... since Apple only learns about users’ photos if they have a collection of known CSAM in their iCloud Photos .... Apple only learns about images that match known CSAM.” SICKOS!
The images will be matched to a database of illegal images (WHO KEEPS THAT DATABASE??)... if a certain number of those images are uploaded to iCloud Photos, the company will review them. PERVY APPLE!
PRO
“Apple’s expanded protection for children is a game-changer,” stated John Clark, president and CEO of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, in a statement on Thursday. “...privacy and child protection can coexist.” CREEP!
CON
Security experts said the plan could allow Apple to surveil tens of millions of personal devices for unrelated reasons.
Ross Anderson, professor of security engineering at the University of Cambridge, described Apple’s described system as “an absolutely appalling idea,” according to the Financial Times. “It is going to lead to distributed bulk surveillance of … our phones and laptops,” he remarked.
When news of this mess broke Wednesday evening, John Hopkins University professor and cryptographer Matthew Green tweeted: “...imagine what [this sort of tool] could do in the hands of an authoritarian government?”
Green said “if you believe Apple won’t allow these tools to be misused [crossed fingers emoji] there’s still a lot to be concerned about,” noting that such “systems rely on a database of ‘problematic media hashes’ that you, as a consumer, can’t review.”
Green also talked to the extremist baby-killer-supporting Associated Press that Apple could scan for other types of information.
CDC and Facebook ‘Coordinated Closely’ on Censorship of COVID-19 ‘Misinformation’: Watchdog
(The Epoch Times) …including suppression of alleged misinformation (SOME OF WHICH IS TURNING OUT TO BE TRUE!), and gave the health agency free advertising estimated at $3 million, according to Judicial Watch, which obtained emails that were released on July 28.
The CDC released 2,469 new documents (pdf) to Judicial Watch in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) filed against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
In an email exchange beginning on Jan. 26, 2020, days after a senior program officer at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation connected the CDC with Facebook, a representative at the social media giant informed the CDC of the actions it was taking in regards to combating misinformation.
Facebook called it the “FB coronavirus narrative.”
One of its three prongs was to: “Limit misinformation and other harmful content on our platforms. Our third-party fact-checkers have been rating information on this topic as false, including the AP, Politifact, [and other foreign orgs]” — they said than “60 fact-checking organizations ... around the world” — Facebook gave a $1 million grant program in partnership with The International Fact-Checking Network.
ALSO: While the CDC acknowledges the in-kind donation from Facebook in the emails, the donations were not listed in its fiscal year 2020 gifts to the CDC (pdf).
The CDC, on its “Gifts to CDC” page, says to maintain its scientific integrity, the agency engages in a rigorous and transparent gift review process.
Twitter offered CDC free advertising on its Promoted Trend and Promoted Spotlight Trend, with an estimated value of $75,000 and $150,000 respectively. In addition, Twitter said it had “an in-house team ready to help with messaging and creative assets” for the CDC to use. CORRUPTION!

NYC Restaurants Taken Aback by News of Vaccine Passport Requirement
(The Epoch Times) Businesses will have to ask customers for their vaccination card issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or vaccination confirmation on the city or state phone app. The rule goes into effect on Aug. 16 and enforcement through inspections will start Sept. 13.
More than a third of New Yorkers haven’t received even the first of the two doses of the so-called “vaccine.”
Restaurant owners are very split on the decision — some support it because they don’t want another shutdown. (NOTE: So they support their oppressors, appeasing evil communists!)
One lady called it confusing. “The Mayor saying one thing, the Governor saying another thing, the CDC saying yet another thing,” she said.
Some people are already irked when asked to put on a mask.
She wasn’t even sure how to enforce the rule, noting that she doesn’t have the budget to have a person stand by the door checking people’s vaccination papers.
“It’s stupid, because it’s not our job to police people,” one manager said. “Whether you’re not vaccinated or you’re vaccinated, you’re still my customer,” he said.
He suggested it’s the government’s fault people aren’t getting it, since they’re doing it by force rather than providing info proving it’s legit and trustworthy.
North Carolina Business Owners Say They Won’t Implement Employee Vaccine Requirements
(The Epoch Times) … despite evil Democrat Gov. Roy Cooper’s urging.
In July, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) said in a press release that state government employees and SO-CALLED “health care” workers are required to show proof of vaccination status and urged private businesses to enforce the requirement as well.
The National Institute of Health has suggested private businesses require vaccine credentials from customers.
The U.S. Equal Opportunity Commission updated its COVID-19 policy in June, allowing for businesses to require that their employees get vaccinated without violating federal law.
In September, New York city will begin requiring proof of vaccinations for workers and customers for indoor dining, gyms, and performances.
Both Disney’s salaried and non-union workers, and Walmart’s corporate employees will also have to get vaccinated, according to their new policies.
In NC some restaurant owners are leaving it to the individual choice.
One guy said: “It hasn’t even been approved by the FDA, so it blows my mind that restaurants now are requiring cards.”
Biden Launches Comprehensive Vaccination Effort in Schools
(The Epoch Times) Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said Thursday: “We’re doubling down to get more students vaccinated as they return to school. We know vaccines are working and they’re the safest and most effective way to fight back COVID-19, to prevent outbreaks, and to ensure a safe school year.” LIES.
From Aug. 7 through 15, the Sleepy admin launches “week of action” by sending “Second Gentleman” Douglas Emhoff and this Miguel Cardona sleaze to Topeka, Kansas, push back-to-school vaccine clinics.
Earlier this week, the administration released its “Return to School Roadmap,” SICK PEOPLE!
TX Gov Abbott and FL Gov DeSantis banned mask mandates.
