After the CSAM debacle, I don't know how anyone can consciously pick Apple after they spent so many years saying they value data privacy and all that.

After the CSAM debacle, I don't know how anyone can consciously pick Apple after they spent so many years saying they value data privacy and all that.
- pieter_mj 4y agoWith the EU newly voted dsa/dma legislation, a phone local CSAM detection module is 100% certain coming for android. Apple, not so sure. They might even retract themselves from the European market.
- srshearer 4y agoAt least Apple were just using known hashes. Have you seen what google did? https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/08/googles-scans-private-photos-led-false-accusations-child-abuse https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/08/googles-scans-private-... (Not linking to NYT because paywall)
- e40 4y agoWow, even after being cleared they couldn’t get their data back.
- zzyzxd 4y agoTo me, and some tech friends I know who actually understand the implementation, the CSAM debacle is more about control and freedom, and not about privacy. I am not paranoid enough to worry about hash collision, so I am not worried about one day my phone will send my private data to Apple. (I just don't want to pay for a spyware that runs on a device I own, with the intention to work against the owner's interest)
