> Once a certain number of photos are detected, the photos in question will be sent to human reviewers within Apple, who determine that the photos are in fact part of the CSAM database. If confirmed by the human reviewer, those photos will be sent to NCMEC, and the user’s account disabled.
Chilling. Why have human reviewers, unless false positives are bound to happen (this is of 100% certainty with the aggregate amount of photos to be scanned)?
So, in effect, Apple has hired human reviewers to police your photos that an algorithm has flagged. Whether you knowingly consent to or not (through some fine print), you are being subjected to a search without probable cause.
This is not the future I was looking forward to.
