I just ordered my first NAS with RAID mirroring. No more paying for iCloud or store anything on my Apple devices. You don't deserve my money Apple. Maybe my next phone will be a de-googled Android phone.
Err no, many experts have stated the system is very easy to trick. And of course, the scanning list will be injected with other things it needs to find, without the knowledge of Apple and others. At which point, a person at Apple will be able to see the image, not a hash, the actual image.Only if you have 30 image which matches CSAM know images from a independent database. In that casa your privacy will be at risk... but you are a pedophile. Remember matche is not scan, an hash is not an image.
That’s a cover up lie and a random number Craig is throwing at us.
I think it is time for Jonathan Ive to start a tech company......Apple is not going back on this. Very disappointed.
I would have been impressed by such kind of straight statement:Thank you, Craig! I wonder if Craig woke up and read my comment from the previous article haha!

Craig Federighi Acknowledges Confusion Around Apple Child Safety Features and Explains New Details About Safeguards
Apple's senior vice president of software engineering, Craig Federighi, has today defended the company's controversial planned child safety...www.macrumors.com
All jokes aside! Craig, you do not know what you are talking about when all you did was praise how important privacy was. Stay away from my PRIVACY, please. It is my HUMAN RIGHT. Craig! please, give us an Opt-Out option from CSAM, please. Let our voices be heard. I will not appreciate Apple scanning my iCloud photos whether it's through AI or Hash.
It sounds like Apple is using "Protecting Children" as an example to be spying on the consumers.
STOP this mass surveillance to be launched. Apple you are not a Law Enforcement organization. Stop acting like one. Apple, how are you not getting the point. You are violating our privacy. Over 7000 signatures were collected. Stop playing with our privacy and human right.

Seems like a lot of effort to go to just to rickroll an Apple employee.Err no, many experts have stated the system is very easy to trick. And of course, the scanning list will be injected with other things it needs to find, without the knowledge of Apple and others. At which point, a person at Apple will be able to see the image, not a hash, the actual image.
And if they get a match, they will just hand over the hash numbers to the police to figure it out?Matching is not scanning, the issue there is 99% of users don't know what an hash is. It is not the photos, just numbers.
people on this site are the 0.001% of fanboys. 90% of apple users wont even know this feature exists. This wont change apple's profits one iota.This just gets more stupid:
- Mass surveillance of a billion iPhone users for what – now that every criminal has been warned?
- On the device so that every security scientist knows what happens – no, they don't know if there is more in iCloud
- Since it is on the device it looks like a first step, the second step could be a neural network detecting images
To reiterate myself, after buying a new iPhone every since 2007, I will not update to iOS 15 and will not buy an iPhone 13 Pro until this is sorted out. Same applies to macOS Monterey.
Yep.I just ordered my first NAS with RAID mirroring. No more paying for iCloud or store anything on my Apple devices. You don't deserve my money Apple. Maybe my next phone will be a de-googled Android phone.
I am certainly going to avoid the new mac OS and iOS releases for as long as possible. Even though if iCloud is disabled it should not matter, it is not clear where Apple is going with this. They have already stated they may expand the features to third parties.Will this lead to an iOS 15 Boycott ???
And if so, will that lead to the Board forcing Tim Cook out ???
Neither can be discounted at this point !!!
GrapheneOS. Android without the spying.i really don't wanna have to go back to Android.

Announced at WWDC this year...general consensus on this site is, "Wow...this is so kewl!!! I took a picture of a dog and it can tell me what breed it is!! This is the greatest feature ever! Thank you Apple for doing this on my device so it doesn't share my interests to the world!!"
When Apple announces they are doing the exact same on device picture scanning except now to help the exploitation of children in an even more secure way with many toll gates to prevent abuse. "WHAT ABOUT MY PRIVACY!!! GOVERNMENTS AND BAD PEOPLE WILL HACK INTO THIS AND USE IT AGAINST ME!!
And by the way, they have been doing this on device picture/info screening for years now.
Well...you are completely wrong in your statement...read how it works again until you get it right.Sorry but you are comparing chalk and cheese.
The feature that finds dogs etc, does so all on device. Apple made a big point about this, the same with the finding faces feature.
This new feature scanning for illegal content, scans on the device and makes it possible for an Apple employee to view images from your phone which have not even been uploaded to the cloud. Do you not understand how that really takes the biscuit?
i.e. Budapest declare its illegal to be LBGT, they tell Apple to scan for any such imagery.
