The middle ground is 0. The idea of equal jailed innocents to jailed criminals is mind numbing leaps of logic that is against the very ethos the united states was founded on.
- omginternets 5y agoI understand the sentiment and even share it to some extent, but we should really be arguing against the strongest possible version of claim, which is as follows: signal-detection theory tells us that there is a direct relationship between the number of correct-detections and false-alarms, and the only way to achieve 0 false-alarms is not to label anything a hit. In the present case, this means not prosecuting anyone, ever. That's probably not a solution you're happy with. Therefore, the argument is one of degree. I agree with you that Apple's CSAM-detection is going too far, and this is what we should be articulating. Chanting "not even one" is not particularly convincing, nor sensible.
