That seems like such a bizarre line to draw. Why would you spend all of this time and effort building such technology to only fight child sexual abuse? There are adult victims of abuse and trafficking. There are murders and rapes that Apple could help fight with this tech. Stolen items or stolen pets could be identified and returned to their rightful owners (for example, scan all phones within 20 miles of a lost dog).....why is Apple refusing to help fight any of these legitimate crimes?
- josephcsible 5y agoThere's actually a reasonable answer to that: just having images of other kinds of crimes generally isn't a crime by itself.
