One problem is, the CSAM database he talks about is from the US and not managed by Apple. What if another country requires to use a different database and requires to put in other in this country "legally compromising" images? Who audits this? Apple in the respective country? Who will even get notified about this?

- spuz 5y agoIn the interview he states Apple will promise to send the same database to all iPhones around the world and this database can be audited by 3rd parties so we can actually verify that Apple always send the same version to all iPhones. There is of course the argument that Apple will backtrack on this promise but that applies to everything they do so I'm not sure how much weight to give it.
- lrae 5y ago> and this database can be audited by 3rd parties Which 3rd parties and how much auditing was there granted by NCMEC in the past? I don't see the NCMEC call the CCC or EFF and ask them if they want to audit their database full of CSAM. (Or Apple or the other partners that weren't named.)
- spuz 5y agoI didn't get the impression that anyone will be able to audit the contents of the database, but they can probably see its binary format.
