You’re having a house party. Because of the pandemic, you’d rather people who have COVID not attend. You can’t trust everyone to get vaccinated or get tested beforehand. So, you decided to set up a rapid-test system, just to be sure.
Would you rather test in your kitchen or your driveway?
- addingnumbers 5y agoWhy the contagion analogy? If contagion wasn't a factor, I'd rather test in the kitchen, it's cozier. Are you suggesting CSAM will infect more unwilling victims if it gets into a private iCloud account?
- websites2023 5y agoCSAM on the server means the server is tainted and likely to be searched by governments. Good plan to keep it off eliminates that excuse.
- addingnumbers 5y agoI don't see how this scanning reduces the likelihood of a government searching their servers. Seems to me like this can only result in more court orders than they had before scanning.
- websites2023 5y agoIf you’re Apple, and you’re throwing your weight around in the US bread and butter market to convince the FBI to not scan your servers for CSAM, which is more compelling: we check for it when it gets here, or we keep it off our servers using crypto hash magic?
