People who work in Child Protection aren’t doing it because they’re power hungry sociopaths. They’re people who do an absolutely horrible job for shit pay because they feel compelled to protect children.

I’m not in NY, but I have a friend who works in Child Protection. The shit her and her friends see is fucked up.

In the case here, the baby was born with measurable levels of THC in their system. It’s not illegal to smoke weed while pregnant, just like it’s not illegal to drink alcohol while pregnant - but both can fuck up a child for life before they’re even born.

A few massive differences:

  • You opt-in to targeted tracking with Apple. It’s impossible to opt-out with Google. Apple also enforces per-app opt-in for tracking.

  • Apple use your data, but they don’t sell it on

  • Apple features protect you from 3rd party tracking at a software level (Private Relay) and hardware level (MAC randomisation)

I mean, the product is being sold as a way to commit suicide, so it’s hardly surprising that many of the people who bought it are now dead.
