if that handful turns into a lot more they will care. Hearing normal folk asking "will I get in trouble for photos of my baby" kind of shows its not just a bunch of angry nerds. Angry nerds will just put gas on fire with simple &q

You could stop buying iStuff on principle otherwise they'll just continue with this crap. As for alternatives, anything would do. Android doesn't do client side scanning of files since that's your chief concern. If you want m

Ads, preloading and overall monitoring of what content you are watching at least on TVs is what convinced me to stop buying anything Samsung. Sure, someone can use adb or root and remove most of the things but it's a hassle and things

In cloud storage they can manually review the picture on server side for false positives before throwing to law enforcement. You are consenting to the upload and are aware that it can be searched so not a legal problem. Law enforcement will

Well good thing they're looking at it anyway client side...

by adriancr 5y ago
So they should do that scanning server side at their boundary instead of pushing software to run on phones with potential to extend scope later if no push back.

Today it does that. Tomorrow who knows... It would be easy to extend this to scan for 'wrongthink'. Next logical steps would be to scan for: confidential government documents, piracy, sensitive items, porn in some countries, LGBT

it used to be a very common way to append trojans to existing executables. First pack them then add small payload (ones i've seen were usually ~20kb in size) Then antiviruses took an easy way out and marked all as viruses for some reas

check if there's any trojan appended to them... or if you've used UPX to package them then they will automatically get flagged.
