On one level, I'm not surprised and can understand why Apple might be pissed off that Corellium is still making news.
"Researchers can audit our CSAM process...except for you, who we just handed a pile of money over to and are still on our shit list."
- detaro 5y agoHanding Corellium the underdog story on a silver platter again is not how you avoid them making news though
- chrisfinazzo 5y agoAs I see it, Apple had 3 options for how to deal with this case - in decreasing order of hostility: 1) Sue the company out of existence 2) Buy the company 3) Settle They chose option #3, which from what I've seen is solely related to DMCA claims. With this in mind, why should Corellium be allowed to continue this work having just gotten out of the proverbial "doghouse"? Apple's already marked them as a bad actor in this regard and continuing to make noise seems ill-advised.
- morganvachon 5y agoActually, Apple chose option #1, and when their ass was handed to them by the judge in the case, they opted for #3 to get out from under it. No matter how they handled it though, the fact remains that they are providing lip service to the public ("security researchers can easily vet our methods") while continuing to fight against the very same researchers who might want to investigate this new scanning technology.
- sharken 5y agoI agree that this is more damage control on Apples side, no amount of spin will make on-device scanning a good idea. Apple should realize that users just want the privacy they have heard so much about over the years.
- emptyparadise 5y agoAnd they only went for #1 after #2 didn't work out.
- ksec 5y agoOr Apple says researchers can vet its CSAM tools as long as their results agrees with their ones.
