To follow up on Android shaming, the proposed photo surveillance that Apple will be implementing may drive some people away from their ecosystem. So in one regard this is Apple shaming. Putting on my expert witness hat, everyone I work with takes care of abused children. They also all have iphones. Everyone I work with takes pictures of abused children to share with law enforcement. Everyone I work with also sees children with medical and surgical problems of sensitive body parts. Everyone takes pictures to get second opinions or to facilitate handover and document improvement or worsening. Also, the patient's parents take pictures of sensitive anatomy to send to our team for telemedicine diagnosis. I don't see any names of the people they are supposed to be working with to make sure things are appropriate. If I didn't know them personally I could research their expertise to see if they were legit. If this turns out like I think it will, Apple will be reporting 1000s of health care providers and parents to law enforcement for completely innocent/appropriate photos. Plaintiff attorneys will have a field day.
