forget about authoritarian regimes committing genocide, think about the children sharing pepe memes with ok signs. There are lots of pitchforks ready to go, and some of them already work withing Apple campus who are writing design docs on how to make Apple ecosystem even more safe

Are you sure the hash function literally called "NeuralMatch" running on the device with 2+ gen of AI capable chips won't have "collisions"?

Your iphone is already capable to identify nude minors in near real time. Is it really that far-fetched that SWAT team gets triggered into action when iphone detects minor abuse?

when you get to a point of getting a car collection, you don't spend you start to invest in car collection, hence why you shift buying preferences to exotics with good track record of appreciating in value and simply lease everything else

This is quite a stretch to start connecting "love of your neighbor" to fascism. Now I start to understand the shift of Coinbase and Basecamp no politics policies. You can't win these games

If you start calling modern social justice issues with a term without that historical "baggage", then it would quickly be dismissed as [first world problem](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=First%20Worl...)

you still need to consider that lots of people would judge you by how you upkeep things in any present moment. Sure, you can be a genius scientist in the stat of "flow", but recognition would come only later if that's the case

let's consider an example. Better to do this experiment on popular social media platforms for US audience.

Consider gun related crimes in Australia before gun buy backs ("bad rate") and gun related crimes in post. You would have a solid number of averted deaths and injuries.

Now let's wait for thoughtful opinions from US users regarding the topic of gun regulation :)
