Child abusers are dumb, but smart enough to know not to upload pictures to the cloud.
If was a conspiracy type, I would assume this is more likely to be apple responding to an NSA request to de-crypt data.
This idea will be gradually expanded:
1. To detect child abuse (unsuccessfully)
2. To detect terrorism (also unsuccessfully)
3. To detect criminal activity (successful only against low-level criminals)
4. To detect radical political views as defined by Apple corporation
5. To detect human behaviors that are not supported by Apple's corporate vision

- chinchilla2020 5y agoVery few get caught that way. Most of the major cases involve seizures of offline hardrives.

(I've seen several cases from email is or cloud providers IDing specific content and tipping off law enforcement, but not aggregate stats.) > Most of the major cases involve seizures of offline hardrives. Are most cases major cases? Are even most of the individuals caught caught in major cases (I doubt it; the number of publicized major caelses and the number claimed caught in each, and the total number of cases don't seem to line up with that.) And even for the major cases, how do they get the initial leads that they work back to?
