There is some sense in which this is true, but the systemic risk exception which they are invoking was always on the books.

I encourage anyone who thinks the Supreme Court is composed of 9 wordcel idiots who can't possibly understand anything about computers to read their opinion in Google v. Oracle [1]. It's very readable and well-argued. It's li

Their JetBrains plugin is written in Kotlin / Java but it spins up a agent server written in node.js which handles the business logic (building the prompt, caching, making completion requests to their API). I assume most of the code is

If you start the function you're trying to write (just by writing `def` on a new line), you should usually be able to get it to start implementing it. You can see alternate suggestions on VSCode by hitting Option + [. We don't cur

The hashes sent to the client are cryptographically blinded, making it impossible for the client to determine the original CSAM hashes.

I don't think that's true. This was a second pre-image attack.

by fortenforge 5y ago
No, I don't think that's what we're witnessing. No one has yet demonstrated that they can take a hash alone and produce an image that matches the hash. It's true that that would be bad, but right now you still need the o

Where does the constitution come into play here? This is a private company scanning content uploaded to its own servers.

> How will Apple know whether a hash is for non-CSAM content? Spoiler alert: they won’t. As I said, the flagged content is reviewed by an Apple employee before it actually triggers an external report. If the flagged material is not in fa

If a small circle of people only share not-already-known CSAM content among themselves and never share known CSAM material then there is no way that Apple's scheme can catch them. However, if at any point one of them screws up and shar

This is untrue. The same photos being used by Apple for this scheme are already in use for CSAM scanning by many major platforms (Google, Facebook, Microsoft). If someone wanted to generate a false positive image, they could already leverag

Apple has stated point-blank that the only source of CSAM content to generate the hash list will be NCMEC and other child safety organizations. While I fully admit that NCMEC could do a better job with transparency and auditing, they are cu

Apple previously stored photo backups in their cloud in cleartext. The door was always open. At some point if you are providing your personal images for Apple to store, you have to exercise a modicum of trust in the company. If you don&#x27

There are numerous incorrect statements in your comment. First: Apple has disclosed who gets to curate the hash list. The answer is NCMEC and other child safety organizations. https://twitter.com/AlexMartin/status/

These illegal photos are not trivial to obtain. Possessing (and here, the printing step necessitates possession) these illegal photos is in and of itself a crime in most relevant jurisdictions. But OK, let's say that you've found

It's a good question. The only explanation that makes sense is that this now allows them to begin end-to-end encryption of iCloud photos. I see that many commentators are claiming that they could already have started e2e encryption wit

Lots of people responding to this seem to not understand how perceptual hashing / PhotoDNA works. It's true that they're not cryptographic hashes, but the false positive rate is vanishingly small. Apple claims it's 1 in

Of course, this scheme only works if the leaked emails are published at least 10 days after the day the email was sent. If we build non-repudiation into the DKIM framework itself we can do better, as this paper does. https://www.
