> So Apple scans Chinese (or whoever) citizens libraries, finds "CSAM" and reports them to ICMEC which then reports them to the government in question.
If Apple finds that a particular hash is notorious for false positives, they can reject it / ask for a better one. And they’re not scanning your library; it’s a filter on upload to iCloud. The FUD surrounding this is getting ridiculous.
Look, I said it in another post, it is not Apple’s job to act as an arm of law enforcement. The same way it is not either of our jobs to be vigilante sheriffs and police the streets.
We’re talking about a company that makes phones and computers, and sells music and tv shows via the internet. Does that matter at all?
How about this. All car manufacturers must now wirelessly transmit when the driver of the car is speeding immediately. How about that?
Let’s just go all out and embed law enforcement into all private companies.
This is fascism, the merging of corporations and the government.
