I think the point of the OP is that it was already the case before when you were using iCloud photos. The scan was server side.

They were reporting to the authorities before as well with what was found on iCloud photos.

An attack on the capitol on January 6. A former president that spent weeks trying to delegitimize the election, trying to get people fired when they were just following the process to ratify the election, etc.

Genuinely curious, why? This scanning was already happening server-side in your iCloud photos, just like Google Photos, etc. Now they are removing it from server-side to client-side (which still require this photo to be hosted in iCloud) Wh

They published full technical documents of what is happening and what is changing, and this is what this debate is about. It's a bit odd to argue that they are not forthright, this is all documented. They could have updated their terms

You are mistaken, the iMessage feature is for parental consent and is not used at all for the CSAM database. It is not related to the CSAM database feature. Read details here: https://daringfireball.net/2021/08/app

It doesn't trigger for a single match, I guess that's the first line of defence.

It does not trigger for a single match. You would need more than 1 hash collision

While iMessage backups to iCloud, this measure is only for photos stored in the iCloud Photo Library. So sending a text with the photo is not enough.

They have also indicated that a single match won't be enough to trigger it, so an accidental match (being that 1 in a trillion person) is not enough.

Libby is indeed an amazing app. Surprising how it came from the same company that created Overdrive, which is an awful app.

And that's fine, keep your ICE car. The point is, you're not the majority. Look at google maps, it's millions of people in suburbs, two cars in the driveway, driving to the grocery store and to work is the majority of the rea

Renting a space at an address and sending your renters to a separate address is a big no-no with Airbnb terms. Easy to detect as Airbnb sends mail to check and confirm where you live. And Airbnb could not caution that game, they would get s

Of course usage policy is good. In Ontario, we have 3 tariffs, high demand, average demand, low demand. And yes, I do adjust my electricity usage based on that. But this is standard, this doesn't change every week and it surely does no

This is Google's problem to figure out (how we should opt-out, or if it should be a opt-in service), the fact that you are putting the responsibility on the user is crazy in itself. We are talking of a billion dollar company tracking t

Blatantly false that Google has "no recourse", Google can put on penalty and bring domains down.

Withholding shipping info after payment is processed? That would be illegal. All Shopify sites will show it to you after entering your address and before payment. It’s hardly a reason to not shop at small business.
