Apple responds to critics of CSAM scan plan with FAQs, says it'd block governments subverting its system

Let's see:

How many apps on the Apple app store are junk? Did you check? The answer might surprise you.

There's a lot more malware on the Apple app store than you might think. Apple is just trying very hard to play it down.

Nobody is denying that Google is trying to gobble up all the date. But this is known and accepted and allows people to make informed decisions and to do something about it.

The false narrative that Apple is all about privacy when in fact they're not is lulling Apple users into a false sense of safety when they should be cautious.

Also, on Android I have the freedom to not use any Google services. Try to get rid of Apple on an iOS device.

And finally: If an Android device doesn't get any support from the manufacturer we are still able to install aftermarket systems like LineageOS, Sailfish or others. Try doing the same on an iOS device that Apple decides not to support anymore.
