I would say a nude photo is probably worse because it could be indicative of some kind of grooming or other sexual abuse.

This is an opt in feature so it’s up to parents whether they think it’s appropriate or not, but I think it’s weird that people are getting mad at Apple for providing a secure, private way to do this when child abuse online is a real thing that happens and some parents may believe that it’s appropriate to trade off some of their young children’s privacy in exchange for some small degree of protection against that.




No, no, I like the feature. It's a nice tool in the toolset. But I'd like for it to allow blocking other kinds of photos. That they only fixed on nude photos plus their policy of not allowing nude-related apps in their App Store reeks of puritanism. That's what I don't like.
