While this is understandable, the unfortunate issue was that Apple could be coerced into adding images certain authoritarian governments didn’t like to the list. Though imo it’s all moot if iCloud Photos aren’t end to end encrypted anyway.
- miki123211 2y agoThe fact that it is CSAM makes it an even harder problem to solve. With e.g. copyright infringement, you could keep some kind of records why a particular file is in the system, potentially even letting trusted and vetted organizations audit the files, but doing that for CSAM would be highly illegal and defeat the purpose of the system.
- noduerme 2y agoThis is a great point. How do you audit whether they flagged "Tank Man" photos as criminal if you can't actually control for CSAM images? Talk about the thin end of the authoritarian wedge...
- ogurechny 2y ago“Coerced”? Check some recent news to see that for Apple rainbow-washing stops at the very moment they are held responsible for providing basic censorship circumvention tools. I am amazed how people still cling to the hope that one day a corporation will do something nice for them without any hidden motive.
