As far as I remember, Apple was planning to detect CSAM, and upload the detected images to the cloud, showing the photos to apple employees. This is not at all comparable to a locally running API that returns something like "{nudity: true}".
- theshrike79 2y agoNope. You needed to have multiple (exact count undefined) confirmed matches before anything was sent anywhere. And even then "Apple employees" would only see a "reduced quality" (Can't remember the actual wording) version of the images. Basically just enough for them to determine if there's something actually illegal in there. You'd have to be the unluckiest person in the world to get 5 false matches against actual verified child abuse imagery. And even then you'd just slightly inconvenience a human checker. Now they're doing it in the cloud for every image you upload unless you turn on Advanced Data Protection. Just like every provider. I think I'm literally one of the very few people in the world who actually read and understood the white paper - and I have the downvotes to prove it :)
