Apple & EU slammed for dangerous child abuse imagery scanning plans
newisneverenough said:How Apple didn’t see these privacy and security threats to their users and to society is mind boggling.
Absolutely mind boggling. -
Internal Apple memo addresses public concern over new child protection features
StrangeDays said:tylersdad said:Wesley Hilliard said:tylersdad said:It starts with examining personal pictures ostensibly to prevent child exploitation, but where does it lead? Where does it end?Where does it end? It already has ended. The tool exists, it took years to develop, it is rolling out this fall. There is no "next."
Your answer to "where it ends" is beyond ridiculous. There is always a next. There are always enhancements. It's the nature of technology. -
Apple & EU slammed for dangerous child abuse imagery scanning plans
zimmie said:elijahg said:"Confusion" was not the issue. Apple of course would say it is because to do otherwise would be an admission that the feature was toxic and entirely contradictory to their public privacy stance. Privacy organisations and governments weren't "confused", they could foresee the potential privacy consequences. Apple knows full well the pushback was due to their public "what's happens on your phone stays on your phone" stance, the polar opposite to scanning phones for CSAM - and the potential for further encroachment on privacy.beowulfschmidt said:AppleInsider said:The EU's plan goes further in that it also looks for organized crime and terrorist activity.
When the capability exists, overreaching governments will exploit it.
I still think they should carve iCloud photo sync off into a separate tool, and make it clear the CSAM scanning is only part of that tool. If you want no CSAM scanning on your device, just delete the ability to sync photos to iCloud. Done. Solves everybody's complaints. -
Pay up or get out: Apple's options for South Korea's App Store law

Of course, if you want to have your own payment system, then be prepared for Apple to start charging you a hosting fee for every download and install of that app. That's only fair isn't it?
It's as simple as that. I won't use their infrastructure and they won't get any money from me (other than my developers subscription).
You well pay for use of their server. And you well be kicked off if your app has malware.
We are talking about iOS app store. Not the Mac app store. -

aderutter said:Maybe https://inhope.org/EN/articles/what-is-image-hashing will help the non-techies?
Note that image hashing is not reversible so one cannot use an image hash to create another image that matches, or be used to modify an existing image so that it matches the original image.
Also, nobody is forced into using iCloud. I for one assumed this kind of system had already been in place for years!
Yes, nobody is forcing people to use iCloud, but this means I have to choose between having my privacy violated or not use the features of iCloud that I'm paying for. -

Where can I go to buy apps for my iPhone if not the App Store?
