Reports negative Apple story alongside a Pegasus story

The Tame Apple Press was so furious that the German government attacked its favourite company over its plans to scan its cloud for kiddie porn, that it has released the story alongside one where German police admit to using Pegasus software.

Digital Agenda committee chairman of Germany's federal parliament, Manual Hoferlin, declared Apple to be on a "dangerous path" with plans to enact on-device child sexual assault material monitoring. He said the system undermines "secure and confidential communication" and represents the "biggest breach of the dam for the confidentiality of communication that we have seen since the invention of the internet".

Apparently the comment got the Tame Apple Press so angry it linked it to another story where Germany's Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) purchased access to NSO Group's Pegasus spyware after internal efforts to create similar iOS and Android surveillance tools failed. The federal government revealed the agreement with NSO in a closed-door session with the German parliament's Interior Committee on Tuesday.
