Very true, just wanted to paint a picture on how this could be abused.
- dannyw 5y agoIt's not true at all. You're assuming state actors are in the same jurisdiction. This isn't always the case - think an oppressive authoritian regime wanting to get an American journalist arrested for child pornography. It's always possible before, but client-side CSAM detection and alerting has weaponised this. Previously, you always had to somehow alert an unfriendly jurisdiction. Now, you just use malware like Pegasus to drop CSAM, whether real or disturbed from legal porn, and watch as Apple tips off the Feds on your enemies.
