Apple to scan images for child abuse

[LiE]

I thought that would be the case.

Where are all the people going to go if they think Apple are suddenly the big villain here? Get an android phone? Oh wait…

I believe it is law (certainly in the US) that any photos stored in the cloud have to be checked for CSAM.

Anything copywrited you havent paid for?

This isn't remotely what this technology is designed to do. If you think this is what Apple will do, then I'm out.

Why is there not a thread on here spewing nonsense hyperbolic outrage about Google and MS who already do this?

Apple bashing is a hobby for many.

If that's the case and it doesn't matter what end they do, why doesn't Apple just continue with iCloud scanning rather than bringing it client-side?

Increased privacy by doing it on device.

OTOH, you come across as their #1 fan. Your whole argument seems to be, "Apple would never do anything bad. I trust them implicitly to do exactly what they said they'd do and nothing else!"

I have openly criticised Apple on this forum.

My entire “argue” is based on what is essentially the information we have to go off. Not conjecture.

You mean Apple's FAQ, where - oddly enough - they claim to not be doing anything wrong? I mean I'm not sure I'd just take them at their word.

I mean the technical doc, FAQ and all the related public statements Apple have made. That is what I’m basing my opinion on. I’m not as cynical as many here.

wonder why down the line why their experience is less and less ideal.

What are you talking about?
