- system2 5y agoAverage customer doesn't know. I go to dog parks everyday and talk to people randomly. I mentioned this to some of the dog park friends and they had no clue and didn't care/understand the implications of CSAM.

- jliptzin 5y agoThis is a community of early adopters and also early disposers. I could be wrong but for the first time in my life I am getting a real sense that Apple could be making a huge mistake here.
- Causality1 5y agoNone whatsoever. This doesn't change the end user experience so the end users won't even notice it let alone care.
- Grustaf 5y agoNot an inch. Since most people trust Facebook with their photos and google with all their emails, both of them mining your personal data for ads, obviously they will not mind Apple scanning their photos to prevent horrific crimes.
- b215826 5y ago> obviously they will not mind Apple scanning their photos to prevent horrific crimes But Apple scanning all phones for CSAM makes it look like you're guilty unless proven otherwise. It's not even about preventing crimes -- Apple will only flag your device if it has a photo from the CSAM database. In that sense, the most horrific part of the crime, i.e., the abuse of a child, has happened already.
- Grustaf 5y agoAll the other major services already scan your photos with similar algorithms, the only difference is that apple is trying to do it in a much more robust and privacy preserving way.
