Good thing Russians don’t know how to hack into iCloud accounts, they could have any American arrested they want by sabotaging them with known hashed images.

As a developer I can say nobody has anything to worry about, if anything Google Facebook and others are the ones who have been peeking at your private information for years
like messages in Facebook have been viewed by Facebook employees including any private photos, a human has actually been looking at your photos
Apple solution is only your own phone will look no human just a machine

I noticed Craig never actually talked about the audit system (when asked about protection) that he said would prevent abuse from happening.
NNTP, email, maybe even MMS, but the trick here is that people that do that kind of thing save the pictures and if they're stupid enough not to listen to outside news, iCloud could end up with pictures in the cloud. That's why I support cloud side scanning.
But device side, no way, no how. Way too 1984/Big Brother for me.
I might buy a new iPhone, but a new Mac, I was going to when the new M1X versions come out -- not anymore, not this year, and we'll see about ever again.
HELP! Big question I even hesitate to ask. What is the problem with the M1? I and our family are long-time Apple users (over 25 devices) and feel totally betrayed by this. Speaking out against it everywhere. Even today, on the weekend, I am in the process of de-Appling our family and business as much as possible. Signing out of iCloud and resetting devices to sell. It will take a few weeks to complete though (we were all in). However, with our business, we use Macs, including a 2020 M1 MBA. I was planning on sticking with it on Catalina for a few months until we can move to Windows (which also has the software we need). Is the M1 chip part of the problem here, even signed out of iCloud? Thanks in advance.
He said there was a system or process but foolishly Stern never pushed further and asked him to explain. Quite a softball interview.
Indeed. I like Stern, but wish she would've pushed a bit harder there. Though maybe he wouldn't have given more details anyway.
The whole interview felt a bit PR-ish, with the different camera angles, Craig in his "usual" uniform, etc.
It was made like a movie not like a news feature.
I agree with you and @Expos of 1969 I think the interview was a softball PR stunt. The fact that Apple expects users to blindly trust about some mystical set of failsafes is concerning because there are too many people that blindly trust already.
Great way to put it. We have to blindly trust to a certain level, and Apple has built up a lot of equity in the “trust bucket” historically, in my opinion. But this feels like they’re really pushing it with that trust equity…
Tech reporters are just like sports reporters. Push too hard in an interview, and your access is cut off. If your access is cut off, you have no job. So, softball it is.
But too soft and us viewers will stop caring and following these reporters.
"Apple’s move was “tectonic” and a “huge and regressive step for individual privacy,” Alec Muffett, a security researcher and privacy campaigner who worked at Facebook and Deliveroo, told FT.
“Apple are walking back privacy to enable 1984,” he added.
Ross Anderson, professor of security engineering at the University of Cambridge, called it “an absolutely appalling idea” that will lead to “distributed bulk surveillance” of people’s phones and laptops."

Apple to scan photos on all US iPhones for ‘child abuse imagery’ as researchers warn of impending ‘1984’ – reports
US iPhone users’ photos will be scanned by Apple’s automated “neuralMatch” system for pictures of child porn and abuse, according to reports. Security researchers are alarmed the scheme threatens privacy and encryption.
I don’t think he lacks the knowledge of what is happening here, rather it’s just another defend Apple at all costs post.
I don’t want Apple scanning my photos at all. If you think I have have something illegal, do it properly: go to a judge and get a search warrant.
How big is the chance that they abandon this?
This opposition must have surprised Apple? How will Tim react in public?
I am Apple user since the Classic II and I am shocked.

I don't think it's about photos. The business model has shifted and your privacy has become a bug rather than a feature.
“Hey Siri - show me Gruber and Ritchie...”
Apple employees of the director level or above completely control the narrative and the questions they ask.
Very not-unlike that 2008 TV show V S1 Episode 3 where Queen Anna is interviewed by Dekker - very interesting convo before seems very applicable here.
