I think that's for files uploaded to onedrive etc. Not for all the files on any windows pc
The encouranged windows 10 setting is to sync your whole profile to OneDrive.
I haven't been particularly impressed with Apple's security record[1] lately, and I don't trust them to not mess this up.

Being specific with the arguments and addressing the nuance matters imo. Most of the HN responses are dumb, get the details wrong, and don’t take the trade offs seriously. That kind of thing causes me to dismiss them entirely. There are legitimate arguments and risks which I’d concede, but they’re not what most people in the comments are talking about.
The trade-off here is to get pedophiles off of Apple services and on to something else, we give Apple an entry point into examining our private data. I understand it's hashes now, that does nothing to prevent this from expanding. "People just don't understand!!" has never been a convincing argument.
There are people who profit from CSAM and in turn this creates a market for abuse. Unless we create structures which disincentivizes these behaviors — right now there are none - they will continue to grow. What Apple is building will basically make any criminal who sells to someone sloppy enough to store in iCloud risk being traced as the origin of the CSAM. Back to the darkest web they go.
Anti CSAM is inevitable. You will find similar systems for all major providers eventually.
I don't think this issue is widespread enough and harmful enough to society to risk the privacy of all Apple users. Full stop.

With lower power sensors, head-mounted devices with always-on-sensors, and whatnot, why not sample real-time hashes that can tip LEO about potential crimes happening?
Then why sacrifice recall in order to achieve high accuracy?
Err on the side of uploading more hashes. Then feed it all into a ML so it can use other data to filter out potential false positives.
Then if in a distance future, any LEO wants to investigate you for whatever reason, the set of potential hashes associated with your account will provide sufficient evidence for any court to authorize further non-hashed data access (it doesn't matter if they were all false positives)

Does this imply that apple was not checking the photos stored in their servers for CP? Then icloud must have been the best way to share it
There is no such thing as a trustworthy third party and even trusting yourself is questionable at the best of times. We are constantly balancing a bunch of different considerations with regards to the way that we compute, purchase devices, and utilize services. Security and privacy are of course important, and Apple to date has had a fairly good (if shallow) track record in this regard, at least in the United States.…
> "As mentioned in the article, this does absolutely nothing towards protecting children other than directing all but the biggest idiots towards platforms that can't be linked to them, which I'd imagine, they already are." I suspect you're more wrong than you think about this. People share large volumes of CSAM through lots of different services - I knew someone who worked on the problem at Linked In (!). HN likes to…
