> scanning your entire Photos library and sending hashes to an unaccountable, no oversight nonprofit (NCMEC) to be compared with CSAM hashes - with no way to contest what you send. This is simply incorrect. It's clearly documented how this works. 1) only files about to be uploaded to iCloud are scanned, 2) Apple maintains the hashes for comparison in their servers (not NCMEC), 3) only after multiple photos match is the account flagged for review, 4) they are reviewed by Apple to catch false positives, 5) only after match is confirmed is the account disabled and the user reported to NCMEC, and 6) you can still appeal to Apple to have your account reinstated. https://www.apple.com/child-safety/pdf/CSAM_Detection_Technical_Summary.pdf https://www.apple.com/child-safety/pdf/CSAM_Detection_Techni...
