This sounds very scary.

In places like China or Russia, they could use this technology to spy on people who are anti Chinese communist party or in Russia they could use this to spy on those who support LGBT rights.

The Chinese will certainly not only let Apple do this, but they'll also steal the technology.

That the US would want to get in on this shouldn't be a surprise.

I'm uncomfortable with both paedophiles and anything in my phone getting scanned by third parties.
