My privacy is violated every time I leave my home. Anyone can take a photo of me and look up the FBI Most Wanted and see if I’m there. If they think someone is me and they’re wrong, they can still summon law enforcement, and I’ll still be mistreated for their poor judgement.
Is this just as unacceptable as the CSAM scanning? Should all public photography be banned, in order to reduce the risk of false positive identifications of innocent people as criminals to zero? Or is that an acceptable degree of privacy impingement for the good of society?
Is Apple’s implementation an acceptable trade of impingement and risk, for good for society? We do live in a society, and so zero impingement upon privacies is never going to be acceptable (sorry, free/tech/libs). But instead of discussing whether Apple’s approach violates privacy minimally or not in order to get the job done, these discussions here just keep circling the drain of “putting my privacy at risk by any degree is never acceptable”, when that drain is cemented shut by the existence of society and will never lead to a valid outcome.
- int_19h 5y agoBy leaving your home and going out in public, you are implicitly consenting to being observed. So, no, that's not a violation of your privacy. Apple's implementation is more like a stranger sneaking into your house if they suspect you're up to something bad. That would be equally unacceptable - we have warrants for a reason.
