Predictably, they are using the child porn angle to start the ball rolling on spying on users. This is only the beginning folks...conservatives will be next. Bet on it.

quote:

Apple will roll out an update later this year that will include technology in iPhones and iPads that allows the tech giant to detect images of child sexual abuse stored in iCloud, the company announced Thursday.

The feature is part of a series of updates Apple unveiled aimed at increasing child safety, but security researchers and advocates are warning the scanning update — along with one that aims to give parents protective tools in children’s messages — could pose data and security risks beyond the intended purpose.

With the new scanning feature, Apple will be able to report detected child sexual abuse material to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) which acts as a comprehensive reporting center and works in collaboration with law enforcement agencies across the country. The company will also disable users accounts if the abusive content is found, Apple said in the update.

It sounds like it’s photos on iCloud. Not on the phones. I don’t send anything to iCloud.

Looks like I’m getting a different phone. And I love how they have the balls to put up these billboards when anyone with a brain knows they’re clearly lying:



The boys at marketing must have really been yucking it up over this campaign. It’s as believable as this:

You actually believe that is why they are doing this. You are so sad.

Is child porn the new trump card?

“Why do you need to search my house?” Might have some child porn

“Why do you need to drawn my blood before I go into the movie theater?” You might have pedophile blood

“Why do you need access to my phone?” Might have child porn, sir

Where did I say that at all?

I was just offering Ts and Ps for a fellow poster’s tiny bird.

Ever see Terminator Genisys?

It's like all these dystopian future movies are pretty accurately predicting the future.

Monty Python's "The Meaning Of Life" sure seemed to predict live organ donations, which now happen in China.

Same...I don't want to be part of the next Fappening!

But seriously, as big as apple seems in regards to privacy (not wanting to open phones for LEOs, etc) if you own one (I do, just upgraded to the 12 after having an older one for years) you have sadly accepted that you're carrying around a tracking deice with a camera and microphone...so it would be silly of me to assume they can not/are not inside of my phone as well.

They ought not be, obviously, but I'm not going to pretend to be stunned of I found out they are, ya' know?

Prime example of how the road to hell is paved with good intentions. AI in this isn't exact.

One company in BR I know used to use an application as part of their security suite that would block pics in attachments if they showed too much color of what would match human skin tones. Problem is, anything not human in the picture that may match those colors and can trigger a false positive. Such as a building for instance. That's just to detect nudes not the context of the contents. Human interaction is more than likely needed and it seems way too intrusive.

I get the intention on wanting to do this but there has to be a better way while respecting the privacy of the innocent. If my girlfriend sends me a snapshot of her in lingerie that's for my eyes only. Not for some guy working for an Apple contractor in some third world cube farm.
