This is what I'm talking about.
And the issue with that parental control is that say you're gay kid in Iran that send nudes to your boyfriend which Apple then reports to your ultra conservative parents. That's not going to end good for you.
i mean, that's a pretty niche case and maybe your underage kid shouldn't be sending nudes via imessage anyways.
That's a whole another discussion. It just one example anyways. My point still stands; this does not increase user privacy.
The child in that case is not the user (or at least not the owner). The user is the parent who configures the phone as they choose and loans it to the child. It's no different than Apple allowing a business to configure a MacBook as they choose, including tools to monitor its usage, and then offering that computer to one of their employees. The owner of the device gets to choose the privacy settings, not necessarily the end user.
