I didn’t say it would be transparent or public. I’m a government plant for saying the government could just tell Apple to scan for whatever they want without messing with the CSAM stuff? I’m saying governments are already capable of ordering this kind of thing, gag orders included, so this specific tech implementation doesn’t really change that. And yes that’s bad and scary and we should probably try to prevent our governments from doing that. But no, I don’t believe that a government could “fool” Apple by adding non-CSAM images to the database. The review step would catch that. I don’t like on device scanning in principle and in precedent. I’m just saying this specific tech stack doesn’t seem like it would be useful for your surveillance scenario, and most of your criticisms don’t seem to be based in having read how this system actually works. I’m AGAINST this system, I just wish the discussion here weren’t so full of misinformation and bad assumptions.
