As I've mentioned in another thread, Apple has been marketing itself so strongly as the leader in privacy that it now speaks about how it now treats privacy as a "fundamental human right". Their executives started using this phrasing when discussing privacy. It is an extraordinary claim that requires extraordinary commitment and action. To me, at least, that means privacy without compromise - and for everyone. ("Fundamental human rights" apply to all of us, right?) Privacy with a bunch of disclaimers attached to it indicating all of the conditions under which your privacy will be abridged is not privacy. And it's certainly not the behaviour of a company that treats privacy as a "fundamental human right". Apple needs to get a grip when it comes to dealing with and living up to this self-stated core value. I think that given the waves created by this CSAM on-device hash checking announcement and the questions many have about how to square this with their privacy talk, Apple's executives should say something and they should be unequivocal in what they say.
