I don’t understand why comments like this are getting downvoted. I understand the absolutist position against any content scanning, but Apple very clearly tried to strike a middle ground that is far less invasive than the content scanning systems in every other photo service run by Google, Microsoft, Flickr, etc. And then when everyone freaked out, Apple didn’t ship it! Meanwhile the FBI can browse all your Google Photos right now.
- smoldesu 3y agoCan the FBI not browse all my iCloud photos too? I don't think a closed-source E2EE implementation would do much to change that.
- matwood 3y agoWith a subpoena they can access anything unencrypted. If a user turns on advance data protection, they cannot.
- willseth 3y agoE2EE is an option for iCloud Photos now, so no, not if it’s turned on. Not sure what you mean about closed source. If you’re implying that the FBI can break Apple’s encryption because it’s closed source, uh, sure.
- detourdog 3y agoBased on the Pen Letter laws. Anything stored with a third party can be subpoena by the government. The reasoning is if one wanted to keep it a secret they wouldn't be sharing with a third party. If you use an ISP for email the ISP can be subpoenaed with you being aware. If you want run your own mail server from your house. A search warrant of your house for the mail server is required. Different notification standards.
