Again, 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.

- 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.
