TopicApple plans to introduce software that scans users phones for Child Porn/Abuse

Better still is that not only are they scanning your images against other whatever child abuse databases, but those images will be sent to Apple personnel for verification. I haven't touched computer forensics in seven years, but something tells me they haven't figured out how to get code to identify whether or not similar images are actually duplicates. Sure, they can look at the image syntax, but if they do that then something as simple as changing a few pixels would mean the syntax is different - requiring verification. In forensics tools that I've used, they had software that could scan for things like humans/bodies, but it was lightyears away from being able to use without visual verification of the images. It was only ever used for identifying potential images on a drive. At the end of the day, some Apple employee is gonna have to look at your nudes or hideously worse - actual CP.

Not only are they scanning your phones but they're also building a backdoor into their encryption. So I hope you don't like having rights against search and seizure on your phone because that's going out the window where Apple historically has said they literally could not unlock an encrypted phone if they wanted to.
