AWS doesn't do any automatic fingerprinting of files being uploaded to S3 and never has. The only time I've heard of anything like this was briefly when Microsoft was doing it, and I don't know if that was shutdown long ago due to outrage or not.
- shuckles 5y agoAWS doesn’t have to because the entity which writes those files is obligated to do this scanning if there is reason to believe the files contain CSAM.
- res0nat0r 5y agoI guess I should clear up: Amazon isn't doing any type of automatic file-scanning for anything being uploaded to S3, or feeding md5/sha1/sha256sums to some 3rd party service automatically for everything that touches S3. If they get a subpoena and then maybe send some kind of file list/checksums they've been required to hand over to some 3rd party / government? That's possible, but an entirely different situation.
- shuckles 5y agoSure, but whoever owns the account which wrote those files in is, in the United States, responsible for doing some version of what Apple has announced they will do with iCloud Photos today.
