Privacy controversy with apple and other tech companies

[Radu97]

Hey guys! 

 

I am sure you have already heated about what apple is doing right now regarding your photos on your  phone. Long story short apple will scan all of your photos on every apple product from iCloud for the purpose of combating child abuse. There is an AL that will scan the photos and if it matches a real human being will take a look and report it.

 

What do you guys think about that? I am a bit uncomfortable with this.   Especially that I use only android and google products like drive, photos etc and I am sure google is worse then apple when it comes to privacy.

I would say this is somekind of bait. If this gets justified I wonder their next move(I don't). Americans are always on War with something. This time porn. Companies like Apple don't care about product real product is the consumer. You have to create the consumer not the stupid product. Their reason lies in a  good common ground tho. Deal for both wings. I couldnt come with better deal. They are intelligent. See... Even if you stand up and defend child porn your narrative is long dead noone will hear you. You lost begone...  If it was popular enough they could go on and say we are "combating non-duality abuse."

No, I’m not worried. Not in the slightest.  On a surface level (where the majority of people just read the title of articles or watch a fear-mongering YouTube video designed for clicks) it seems like Apple is scanning through your nudes and and titty pics but that’s not what’s actually happening.

"When iCloud Photos is enabled on a device, the device uses a tool called NeuralHash to break these pictures into hashes — basically strings of numbers that identify the unique characteristics of an image but can’t be reconstructed to reveal the image itself. Then, it compares these hashes against a stored list of hashes from NCMEC, which compiles millions of hashes corresponding to known CSAM content. (Again, as mentioned above, there are no actual pictures or videos.)"

If you upload your nudes to Apple then they already have access to all your pics.

The thing that protects you is that nobody cares about you. You are too unimportant to care about.

People get these delusions of grandure like someone in gov or at Apple cares about you. They don't even know you exist.

A modern government is one fucking miracle. Millions of people working together, not knowing who they are even working with really. Just numbers & statistics.
