iOS15 has the software in it that uses visual algorithms to determine whether people are recording child pornography. A very noble cause which I would agree with. But on testing after production the algorithms turned out to be so vague that many blurred objects were tagged C.P. Many tech sites pointed this out as a type of giveaway to the FBI to snag whoever they wanted.
P.S. I don't twitter, that's for losers.
I have an iPad mini and 15 messed up how the icons are displayed on the home screen so I went back to 14. Hopefully they'll put the setting back in that lets you adjust the icons. I'm pushing 60 and couldn't see those small icons.
Well according to this site iOS 15.2 Beta: First signs of Apple's controversial child protection function - California18 it hasn't been activated yet so nothing to get rid of. Don't see you complaining about PhotoDNA as used by other companies such as Facebook, Reddit etc. and developed by Microsoft. Also if you've done nothing wrong, then in my opinion what are you worrying about?
