- idle_zealot 5y agoLocal scanning/indexing is fine. It’s reporting the results of the scan to Apple that people have a problem with.
- danudey 5y agoI'm not sure that's true. A lot of people seem to have less of a problem with Apple scanning for CSAM and more of a problem that they're doing it on the phone (and looking for specific images, I guess?).
- idle_zealot 5y agoIt’s the fact that the phone is scanning your images and relaying the results to Apple that’s the issue. If this feature were just an extension of existing on-device scanning and stayed on the device, perhaps informing the owner “Hey, it appears a few of your images may be CSAM. Would you like to review them?” then I don’t think people would be very upset.
