Again, the CSAM "scandal" was actually an improvement of what the other online photo services do (constantly scan your entire library of photos with no controls in place). Just the improvement involved on-device scanning that folks seem allergic to. But you can opt-out, so still better than KaiOS.

- Syonyk 4y agoThe claim is that if you opt out, it's disabled, yes. However, I object, fundamentally, to the entire concept of using my device to check my content for your legal requirements. If I store content on your server, yes, absolutely, you can use your resources to check the stuff I've stored for what you define as badness. But Apple's system is using my device to scan for their definition of badness. If they'd then said, "And this allows us to do iCloud E2EE," well, OK, this is a discussion to have. Except they didn't and haven't. It is, as designed, "I use my device to scan stuff for you, and then you can still scan it." And as a direct result, the EU is now pushing for "badness scanning" in all sorts of E2EE channels, to include searching for "grooming" in text chats. "But Apple said they could do it! Why can't you do the same thing?" is a valid argument from a politician's point of view. KaiOS doesn't have anything in the way of photo uploading in the first place.
