Scary. I had no idea it went beyond the iCloud scans. I avoided the cloud after that celebrity image leak.

Guess we might see a rise in offline or dumb devices. I wonder how this will affect other nations that already have restrictive internet access. If the US West becomes more locked down where would free and accessible info go?
