No they were only scanning iCloud email. They were lagging well behind other services in identifying this content, only finding a few hundred compared to millions by Facebook for example. The system only works with iCloud Photo Library, it

So it’s worse. They don’t wait until they’ve had several hits before they get any knowledge of it, they have a list of people who might have these images in their library.

I think when most people understand what the thing is doing they either don’t care or actually agree with it. There’s a large overlap with tech people and people that have strong privacy feelings. If you chat with normal people they are gen

You may be confusing CSAM detection for iCloud Photo Library with a new parental control feature for under 13s in the messaging app.

It only scans data that’s going online though.

I've never had this issue with a personal custom domain. Basically all businesses have custom domains so blacklisting all of them can't make sense, surely?

I'm not sure it's what I'd want to happen, but it's not really that strange. There are plenty of things we allow the state to do that we wouldn't allow companies to also do.

Read the technical details. Half the required data for the system to function is in iCloud, it doesn’t make any sense without it being uploaded there.

Would be good if it was having any noticeable impact at all. I was hoping to get a nice discount on the stock.

No, they are putting this in place to avoid doing this in the cloud against your whole library and having access to all of the information that generates. https://www.apple.com/child-safety/pdf/CSAM_Detection_Techn

What Apple are saying is they don't want to scan your library in the cloud, or have records of the outcome. There's a lot of process involved in them trying to have as little information about it as possible. https://ww

Yes they do. The reason apple has done this is because they lagged behind other providers considerably in detecting this sort of content. Facebook for example are reporting millions per year compared to a few hundred for Apple. Instead of s

Yeah this is basically it. They have a system that checks for hashes of images to try and find specific CSAM from a database when images are uploaded to iCloud, this already happens but is now moving on device. When explaining this I'v

I don't understand why people are suddenly losing their minds over this. The technology has been in use by basically every cloud storage platform and social network for ages now. Where are all the stories of people jailed for false pos

This is a great read, I couldn’t put it down.

I would guess that a lot of it is profit driven. People without fast access to internet probably don't spend a lot of money, and the vast majority of things built on the internet are to make money.

I’m in the EU so that probably skews my view on it. Tbh every time I hear your take on right to repair I find it lines up with where I stand. The more that you can be pushed as the voice of right to repair the better. I think the vast major

They also seem to be surprisingly long lived, every Macbook and iMac I've purchased in the last decade is still in use somewhere in my extended family. One or two have had batteries replaced by Apple, and one has had a new keyboard but

The conflation of right to repair with other things might make the whole enterprise impossible. It's currently very difficult to claim support for something when the goalposts keep moving. I'm very much in support of companies bei

https://www.rrweb.io/ Is a cool open source alternative. We use it with sentry to see what causes our exceptions. Also with a lot of these tools you can configure them to redact user input so you don’t capture too much.
