    why don't they pressure google, facebook, microsoft and others for an
    even more invasive check?

    maybe the eff has a stash of kiddie porn on apple's servers and doesn't
    want to get caught with it.

    For the iMessage one, what is the big argument against it? I've seen
    people say it will be used against LGBTQ+ people in places where it is
    illegal to be gay and whatever, but it only sends the message to your
    parents if you send the image.

    it's only for kids under 13 years old, and only if their parents opted
    into it, and as you say, only alerts the parents.

    That would still be an issue if it was automatic

    It's opt-in.

    Social problems cannot be solved with technology. Never.

    It remains in any case Nazi-style surveillance. I would have never done
    such Nazi-methods to my four kids.

    Something went terribly wrong before the kids are sending pictures with explicit content. And activating such a backdoor is expressing total
    distrust to your own kids.
