Why should technology so bad it needs thirty mulligans have the power to completely destroy your life?
And exactly how are they obligated to keep those policies? Answer: they aren't. There isn't some law saying '30 hits before we report you', and Apple is certainly going to drop the number as the public gets more used to the idea of CSAM. They'll keep dropping it until the news articles start coming out about how it's destroying lives.
This is corporate law enforcement. You don't have a right to due process, any say in their policies, or protection via any sort of oversight.
- GeekyBear 5y agoAgain, Google and Microsoft have already been scanning everything on your account for the past decade without any such protections against incriminating users based on false positives.
- privacyisntdead 5y agoAccount is not the same as your device
- GeekyBear 5y agoApple isn't scanning the contents of your device. They are discussing scanning content you upload to iCloud Photos. So, yes. It's the same.
- privacyisntdead 5y ago"Before an image is stored in iCloud Photos, the following on-device matching process is performed for that image against the blinded hash table database." https://www.apple.com/child-safety/pdf/CSAM_Detection_Technical_Summary.pdf https://www.apple.com/child-safety/pdf/CSAM_Detection_Techni... Apple disagrees with you.
- GeekyBear 5y agoDid you just post a quote proving that only images uploaded to iCloud Photos are scanned while claiming that all images on the device are scanned?
- throwoutway 5y agoI don’t think that Google’s & Microsoft’s behavior should justify new behavior. Or as the adage goes, Do three wrongs make a right?
- KennyBlanken 5y agoAgain: scanning my cloud account is not the same thing as scanning my --private devices-- which have no apple cloud sync enabled. Which part of "what I store on my device is not even remotely the business of the manufacturer of the device" do you not understand?
- kemayo 5y agoIf you have no sync enabled, they say they're not scanning it. The scan is part of the upload process.
