It is not clear that these measures will reduce actual criminal activities in the first place.
Then, same as anyone can plant heroin in your apartment, anyone can plant "evidence" on your iPhone. Possession laws are extremely dangerous. In the simplest case, someone sends you a spam with an attachment that ends up on iCloud.
Physical problems need to be addressed at the physical level, even if that means that the authorities have to get up from their comfortable chairs again and have to stop staring at monitors.
- SAI_Peregrinus 5y agoIt's worse than that IMO. Apple has (very publicly) announced that existing CSAM can get scanned for, so it's dangerous to possess it. Newly-created CSAM, however, is much safer, since until it gets added to a database these perceptual hashes will be less likely to detect it. So Apple is indirectly encouraging the creation of new CSAM. Of course Apple's scanning isn't the only thing that encourages such creation, but it's a newly publicized thing.
