I never heard that Apple was decrypting the original content at all. That implies that there is a team at Apple looking at child pornography all day. Not sure how that's even legal. It was my understanding that CSAM systems were simply hash based and 'hits' were reported to authorities. Do you have a source for them decrypting information?
- kemayo 5y agoHere's a summary of how their proposed system was supposed to work: https://educatedguesswork.org/posts/apple-csam-intro/ https://educatedguesswork.org/posts/apple-csam-intro/ (if you want to skim it, search for mentions of "manual review" and "visual derivative") I suspect the key would be that there'd be a team verifying that something is actually child pornography, because the system is a perceptual hash rather than a strict comparing-bytes so before someone looks at it they're not certain.
