Wait if this is really true, why are people freaking out? Wasn't Apple already scanning photos uploaded to iCloud? And now it just happens on-device?

- bengale 5y agoNo they were only scanning iCloud email. They were lagging well behind other services in identifying this content, only finding a few hundred compared to millions by Facebook for example. The system only works with iCloud Photo Library, it needs a server side component to continue the process. https://www.apple.com/child-safety/pdf/CSAM_Detection_Technical_Summary.pdf https://www.apple.com/child-safety/pdf/CSAM_Detection_Techni... This is a very interesting read and personally I think they’ve gone to extreme length to make this system as private as it could be.
