Google already does the exact same scanning of images that Apple has now delayed, so, uh, not exactly gaining much there are you?

- privacyisntdead 5y agoIt’s not the same scanning. Apple’s scanning is on device while Google and others scan for CSAM in their respective clouds.
- user-the-name 5y agoAnd why does that matter? Apple scans images that are uploaded to iCloud. Google scans photos that are uploaded to Google Photos. Exact same result.
- privacyisntdead 5y agoIt is not the same result. Scanning on your device using inaccurate methods is not the same thing as uploading your photos. The method that Apple is describing is going to cause more harm than good. Look how faulty their methodology is - even they agree it needs to be fixed.
- user-the-name 5y agoI have looked at it, carefully, and there really isn't any way for it to do harm. If you want to claim there is, I will want to hear the exact steps you are thinking of, and how they match the published details of the system.
