Nah, Android 12 makes opting out of data collection for ads pretty straightforward. I'll take server scans instead of device scans any day of the week.

Jim Simons? Demis Hassabis? Satoshi also ranks up there in influence.

I think the difference lies in the visibility of each system in typical use. Apple's local scanning remains invisible to the user, in contrast to cloud uploading.

Yes, exactly why Apple breaching user trust matters.

No, the threat model differs entirely. Local scanning introduces a whole host of single points of failure, including the 'independent auditor' & involuntary scans, that risk the privacy & security of all local files on a d

The "Using real life crash data" section is just wrong. The IIHS confidence interval describes an empirical death rate, not an "expected fatality rate." Therefore, an interval including 0 deaths per million registered ve
