That’s not what this does. Articles aren’t communicating the details well. There’s a set of known photos of kids going around. They are looking for those specific photos. It’s hash based checks
- majjam 5y agoThats the first feature, the second is, from the article: “The other feature scans all iMessage images sent or received by child accounts—that is, accounts designated as owned by a minor—for sexually explicit material, and if the child is young enough, notifies the parent when these images are sent or received. This feature can be turned on or off by parents.”
- j1elo 5y agoYeah I see the detail about matching hashes with well known images from a database... but what triggered my comment is this other function that is mentioned: > The other feature scans all iMessage images sent or received by child accounts—that is, accounts designated as owned by a minor—for sexually explicit material, and if the child is young enough, notifies the parent Which seems to be a feature that would allow parents to fix with prohibitions what they didn't achieve with education.
