If we investigated this author if they do in fact run a photo service we would inevitably find that unless they are incompetent they have to moderate content, either blind or based on flags.
So if apple is going to jail for child porn because they moderate / report content after flagging (this is normally actually required to do - report it), then this article writer should be going to jail as well - I guarantee his services stores, forwards and otherwise handles CASM content.
My complaint is just - HN used to focus on stuff where folks didn't just always jump to worst case arguments (ie, apple is guilty of child porn and is committing felonies) without at least allowing that apple MAY have given this a tiny bit of thought.
It's just tiresome to wade through. It's a mashup of they are blocking too much, are the evil govt henchperson to they are breaking the law and going to jail for felony child porn charges.
I get that it generates interaction (here I am), but it's annoying after a while. Clickbait sells though no question so things like "One Bad Apple" are probably going to keep on coming at us.
