The is no nuance to this. The iCloud sync is always on. So every time you take a photo with your camera, Apple asks FBI if you're a pedophile or not. If there's a match, it will naturally has to notify the cops. What nuance is there?!
- savolai 5y agoAs per what they are saying the algorithm does not ask the fbi anything. It looks for matches independently and only reports things with a fairly high bar. Not defending what they are doing though.
- hyperbovine 5y agoPure semantics. Whatever entity defines what “matches” controls this process. One guess as to who that is.
- latexr 5y agoIf you watch the Joanna Stern interview with Craig Federighi[1] you’ll find plenty of nuance to contradict your comment. That doesn’t mean you should believe them or that there isn’t a real possibility of the system being abused (that’s partially addressed in the interview), but it also doesn’t mean there was no nuance or thought put into the feature or that it isn’t being misunderstood. All of those can be true at the same time. You can have a bad system that people disagree with for incorrect reasons. That matters: the effort Apple needs to spend fending off inaccurate criticism is effort not spent understanding and addressing the real issue.
