- ethanbond 5y agoI bet if those crimes were proliferating at the rate that CSAM is, a lot of people would be pursuing more active counter measures
- tremon 5y agoWhat do you mean by CSAM proliferating? Do you have evidence already that CSAM's image database is being used in a much wider scope than Apple is claiming?
- ClumsyPilot 5y agoIs there data to show thay CSAM proliferating at a different rate than those crimes?
- ethanbond 5y agoWell it's hard to say how much of the growth is growth in detection/reporting versus growth in underlying crime, but it's worth noting that each transmission of CSAM is considered a separate crime. I.e. even if actual sexual assault remains steady, the nature of the internet (virality and community creation) sort of pushes CSAM transmission upwards. The internet is designed to spread content that people want, CSAM is sadly just that.
- Grustaf 5y agoWe are already trying to stop those, so that's some weird sarcasm. But scanning photos is not a very efficient way to stop drug dealers, they don't tend to take photos of their stash I think.
