I agree with you. I’m all for privacy but have no issues whatsoever with companies scanning for CSAM. I do not feel this is an invasion of my privacy, because I know how hashing works and I know I do not have CSAM on my device.
- blintz 5y agoDo you know how NeuralHash works? NeuralHash is not a cryptographic hash. Unless you're an Apple employee, you can't - the model is private and not inspectable.
- gigel82 5y ago> I’m all for privacy but have no issues whatsoever with companies scanning That's an oxymoron.
- thephyber 5y agoI think some people here have similar feelings, but as other replies point out, this particular hash is not cryptographic and we have to trust Apple’s word for it that false positives are extremely rare. Also worth mentioning that the original corpus of data used to build the hashes isn’t inspectable, so we don’t know how much garbage exists on the input side. A recent blog post suggests that the corpus of CSAM isn’t even very comprehensive, so the value of this system is questionable.
- willio58 5y agoAhhh I did not know that they are using a non-cryptographic hash, I guess I assumed otherwise. Thanks for your reply.
