- istingray 5y agoOpen source hardware and software is the only sustainable path forward. Perhaps that DIY processor fab discussion is worth a re-read.

- aomobile 5y agoI mean what if apples search decides that I am suspicious? Will they unlock my keychain and give all my logins to some police or worse random people somewhere to check my stuff? Very disappointing indeed
- JKCalhoun 5y agoI don't believe Apple can unlock your Keychain. It requires your biometric (touch/face) to unlock from the Secure Enclave.
- shuckles 5y agoPer the threat model most of the people on here seem to be buying into, Apple can do whatever they want in an iOS update, including sending iCloud Keychain secret keys to a server they control.
- zepto 5y agoThe threat model people are buying into here is that Apple can’t do what they want today, but if they deploy this CSAM detector, only then will they be able to do whatever they want.
- shuckles 5y agoFair point. You are right.
- lern_too_spel 5y agoThe threat model is that Apple has been capable of doing whatever they want, and this CSAM detector has demonstrated that Apple will do whatever they want.
- zepto 5y agoThen by that logic, what they want is build a complex and highly narrow mechanism for checking only the photos that are uploaded to iCloud Photo Library for CSAM, and absolutely nothing more.
- lern_too_spel 5y agoToday. They didn't want to do that yesterday. They will certainly want to do something else tomorrow. Apple has a history of modifying devices that people bought in ways they didn't want and could not change (like putting a non-removable News app on their computers), but the CSAM episode shows Apple is willing to do a lot more, and more importantly, explained this to users who didn't care about the past abuses.
- zepto 5y ago>… explained this to users who didn't care about the past abuses. There is no abuse here.
- istingray 5y agoWow from your description people here sound like idiots. Sounds like you're pretty frustrated, what's up?
- zepto 5y agoWhat part makes people sound like idiots?
