@jotak Specifically, Apple planned to phone home about nude content in the name of protecting minors, but then decided to just warn users (especially kids) an image is porn to make a speedbump for groomers. Google is doing the same thing, so the FUD here is to pretend Google's doing Apple's original bad plan, and therefore is worse than Apple.

@jotak It's confused FUD.

'Sensitive Content Warnings is an optional feature that blurs images that may contain nudity before viewing, and then prompts with a “speed bump” that contains help-finding resources and options, including to view the content. When the feature is enabled, and an image that may contain nudity is about to be sent or forwarded, it also provides a speed bump to remind users of the risks of sending nude imagery and preventing accidental shares.'

Image scanning isn't about privacy. They made it blur content that seems graphic, if you opt-in, just like Apple decided to do.

@larsmb @jwalzer
Not only that, it's literally just blurring things that it thinks are graphic on-device, exactly the same as Apple decided to do...

'All of this happens on-device to protect your privacy and keep end-to-end encrypted message content private to only sender and recipient. Sensitive Content Warnings doesn’t allow Google access to the contents of your images, nor does Google know that nudity may have been detected.'

@Patagium It is something that the terms "crush" and "couple" were actually used, but it gives me this weird feeling that Izzy thinks a "couple" is like, her & Sunny, or Pipp & Zipp, just really good friends instead of anything romantic, like how she said "palentine" at the start.
I'm hoping TYT improves next season, given that the apparent dropoff in views from the movie to the series might make Hasbro loosen up, and maybe then it could actually have any romance for the next H&H Day.

@Patagium Izzy continues to be the best character of G5, with Zipp not far behind, making this quite a good episode. Very sad however to see the Hearts & Hooves Day episode of all things lacks any hint of romance. I guess the ponies in G5 really do just have friends and reproduce asexually (we've very weirdly not only not seen any significant others, but have yet to see somepony have more than one parent).
