Interesting ( or suspicious ) that Apple would have this automatically activated. Seems like it could easily be fixed on their end by sending out an update.

My thoughts exactly.

I am constantly warning parents about this, and sending them to the Social Dilemma movie to show their children and get tips on Tristan's website to protect them from manipulation:

The great things about technology also make it dangerous. Not only can predators take advantage of children, even mentally disabled adults, but so can human traffickers. Be on your guard, always.

Ironically enough I just wrote this articles on the dangers of cell phones but I was coming specifically from the radiation perspective

Cellphones are no more dangerous than microwave ovens if you don't hold your head against them.

Great post, VF. Keeping our children safe SHOULD BE Job #1 ....someone ought to inform our government of this fact ;)

Why would a government that endangers all of us by warring on the world be trusted to protect our children?

Expand full comment

Why, indeed.

Because we haven't been taught to think better than we do.

I believe many HAVE been taught better, Vonu.... but too many have given up critical thinking.

These people now play on Team Sheep.

Trust yourself, think for yourself.....and watch out for anyone suggesting you don't need to do your own research.

There is no need to give up something which one never became adept enough at to give it a proper trial.

Thank you for this invaluable information.

You are insane to trust any apple, google, microsoft or facebook product, site or protocol. These companies are all monstrous spy machines invading your privacy at every keystroke.

I guess it isn't obvious that they can't spy on you if you don't facilitate it.

What is sad is that kids, or their parents for that matter, feel they even a powerful Apple or Android device to begin with. It's a complete waste of money and ultimately gets kids addicted to social media that is a massive waste of time - not to mention a fantastic way to indoctrinate kids towards many evils. All about the money...

ANYONE GIVING OR ALLOWING THEIR CHILDREN to use ANY of these deadly devices is guilty of the harm that is happening to them and the results in the future , this is EVEN WORSE than masking. These weapons , melt the DNA in their/your brains , destroy their immune systems, program their minds , put them under constant surveillance , surrender their Constitutional rights, make dopamine addicts of them, and can transmit disease symptoms to them. They will ALL end up with neuro degenerative issues or brain damage. Is that what you want for your children? Also learn all the dangers of 5G , AND SMART METERS.

Children don't need iphones, period. It is the iphone which is making them unsafe. Parents need to stop believing that their children need to be in touch constantly. They don't. Teach them about strangers; don't let them go where they are potentially at risk; set boundaries for them; be there for them. Don't follow the herd!

Does anyone have a full listing of the things we should disable with each new update? We've had other warnings to disable things on our iPhones with updates (I think during Covid there were a couple). I hadn't thought about the likelihood the any update that happens will undo the prior "fixes" I've made with any prior updates. I'll start tracking with this one, but lost the previous fixes we should make. Thanks!
