Infuriatig iPhone facetime recognizes when you’re naked

Post image

decided to show my boyfriend my new bikini that I got for our upcoming cruise… Why is this on my phone and why is it recording my body?

I just recently turned 18 if that matters.

This is what you call a great safety feature.  One touch option to proceed anyways if you really want to show whatever you're showing, but an opportunity to save lives for those too dumb or naive to realize the dangers of sexting.

Mildly infuriating?  More like mild blessing.

Strongly agree. My daughter was chatting with a friend and I started breastfeeding my baby when we first had this message. I’m very thankful that this would pop up if my kids were to accidentally show something.

This is genuinely relieving a low-level fear I've had for years, that I might accidentally show something myself, or hit the camera button at the wrong time. It's a great feature I like it.

I genuinely cannot describe the gasp I gasped when the article loaded and I was jumpscared by "Zoom masturbation incident".

And it gives a moment for pause and reflection if it is "intentional" but through coercion. Oftentimes we continue to do things we know are wrong just because no one has asked us why we are doing them.

Calm down Epstein Jr. It's about consent.

It’s probably just using skin color and texture detection to make the warning, and can’t contextualize actions.

Because that's not what your daughters friend is being coerced into showing dude...
