It turns out people liked it when their phone scanned their photos for 'selfie' or 'beach' for them.
Apparently tagging 'child porn' on your photos for searching isnt the killer feature someone thought it might be.
- EugeneOZ 5y agoYeah :) Also, it's funny that Apple here goes for bigger risks: reputation, trust, all of that noise, then risks of false accusations. And for what? To help with stopping the pedophile networks. “But no, wait, they want to use algorithms to scan my photos, it’s a privacy violation...” Just wake up.
- shapefrog 5y agoThey can have a full resolution copy of my photo, all 12 million pixels, along with the exact time, location and direction I was facing when I took it... but I draw the line firmly at a hash of it being taken.
- shuckles 5y agoSo what you’re saying is if Apple had a 5 year plan to help China disappear minorities, they should’ve just kept improving photos search? Maybe this child safety effort isn’t aimed at satisfying some authoritarian wet dream after all!

- shapefrog 5y agoGiven that they classified a photo I took at a pool as 'beach', they have an awfully long way to go. If their disappearing algorithm doesnt improve they will be disappearing chinese majorities instead of minorities.
- robertoandred 5y agoYour photos aren’t being tagged as child porn.
- shapefrog 5y ago* unless they contain child porn
