You're wrong to attribute our position to ignorance. Scanning local files on my computer is not sensible. I understood exactly how it worked and found it unacceptable.
They'll never give you E2EE no matter how much privacy you cede. I'd be surprised if they're even allowed to - no doubt they're being threatened with punitive legislation if they do.
- shmoe 5y agoIt's exactly what they wanted to do. They wanted to be able to tell the FBI to go pound sand. This CSAM scanning was a step towards it.
- xanaxagoras 5y agoMaybe, maybe not. As pointed out elsewhere in the thread, what does "E2EE" really even mean when your device already finks you out for whatever the government tells Apple to look for in the black box you're running on their behalf? Either way, you can speculate on the intentions and future plans of a megacorp all you'd like. I got out from under their thumbs.
- shmoe 5y agoAny other company would've created that hacked version of their OS that allowed unlimited guesses at the passcode and not fought it in court... It's not like Apple's actual stance on privacy is without precedent.
- hansel_der 5y ago> Scanning local files on my computer is not sensible yet a lot of ppl even pay money for av-products that do just that and even upload offending files to google (virustotal).
