The database contents are a secret. There are no news articles about it. However, I do know for a fact the database has serious problems (I'm not speculating).

This is spin by Apple, driven by ignorance or deliberately misleading statements. NCMEC's database contains images that are not CSAM, not illegal and are not even borderline (grey area). The fact there is a match in NCMEC's databa

NCMEC's database already contains non-CSAM. What you suggest is not theoretical, it's reality today. I really think people are missing this point. NCMEC's database is not an infallible, audited and trustworthy source of despi

Evidently the episode you listened to was loaded with false information, because Kik has used PhotoDNA to scan for CSAM for 7 years. [1] [1] https://www.kik.com/blog/using-microsofts-photodna-to-protec...

This is false, the scanning occurs on the phone. Plus, as has already been discussed at length, the NCMEC database is loaded with false positives. The "nothing to hide" argument tends to fall apart when the database being used aga

Law enforcement care because they want to get pinged whenever someone shares imagery of interest to an investigation, irrespective of its legality. A person who creates CSAM likely doesn't just create CSAM all the time, right? Those in

>That’s not entirely true That's why I said it's not inherently illegal. Of course, if you have a folder called "porn" that is full of naked children it modifies the context and therefore the classification. But, if

This isn't CSAM or illegal, nor would it ever end up in a database. Speaking generally, content has to be sexualized or have a sexual purpose to be illegal. Simple nudity does not count inherently.

A reasonable person would call it a normal picture if they encountered it in isolation. Like I said, content which is not even borderline are included. By both a legal and moralistic standard they're not CSAM. Not even nearly. Of cours

If there are pictures recovered alongside CSAM but are not CSAM themselves they can be included in the database. The thing I can publicly say is that the database is not strictly for illegal or even borderline imagery. NCMEC try to keep the

That's the stated purpose, but keep in mind that these databases (NCMEC's in particular, which is used by FB and very likely Apple) contain legal images that are NOT child porn.

The NCMEC database that Apple is likely using to match hashes, contains countless non-CSAM pictures that are entirely legal not only in the U.S. but globally. This should be reason enough for you to not support the idea. From day 1, it&#x27

This article uses criticism of lockdowns as evidence of "virus and vaccine misinformation", which is extremely disingenuous. Criticism of lockdowns is not denialism of the virus or even close to it.

The cover up, the incompetence and the substantially higher death count is fine because cases are now low? Interesting argument, have you considered telling the families who had loved ones slain because of government incompetence that they
