First: I'm not in any way intending to cast any negative light on the horrible shit the people suing went through.

But it also kinda feels like a lawyer convinced a victim they could get paid if they sued Apple, because Apple has lots of money.

If you really were serious about suing to force change, you've literally got:

  1. X, who has reinstated the accounts of people posting CSAM
  2. Google/Youtube, who take zero action on people posting both horrible videos AND comments on said videos routinely
  3. Instagram/Facebook, which have much the same problem as X with slow or limited action on reported content

Apple, at least, will take immediate action if you report a user to them, so uh, maybe they should reconsider their best target, if their intent really is to remove content and spend some time on all the other giant corpos that are either literally actively doing the wrong thing, doing nothing, or are sitting there going 'well, akshully' at reports.

Yep. All the money being wasted on this lawsuit could be spent catching actual producers and distributors of child porn.

Always follow the money. It shows what people's true intentions are.
