Does iCloud automatically upload iMessage attachments?
Doesn't need to, the detection is client side at first.

Airport baggage drug dogs must obviously have far fewer false positives than that. So alerting on everything can't be the state of the art.

I think you mean liberal values. The paradox of the left includes censorship, gun control, etc..
FYI Illiberal values aka non-liberal values (clarifying because the I is hard to read) use the word liberal in the traditional sense. Liberal values are liberty/freedom, consent of the governed, and equality before the law. All other liberal values build off of these three as a base. This implies that Non-liberal (or illiberal) values are the opposition of liberal values through censorship, gun control, etc like you…

Karl Marx quote on the right to keep and bear arms only applies to the proletariat. If you are a programmer and own the means of production (your laptop), you are not proletariat. All socialist and communist countries have strict gun control.

I've had my bag sniffed at airports at least 50 times, and they've never stopped me. So there must be something else going on as well

> like the dogs which conveniently bark at police's secret hand sign This isn't necessary; the state of the art is for drug dogs to alert 100% of the time. They're graded on whether they ever miss drugs. It's easy to never miss.
Dogs are used to protect police from accusations of racism and profiling.

> The same checking when you synced things to iCloud. As has been repeated over and over again, this check happens for iCloud Photos. It's not running arbitrarily.

It's odd to say that a business should be allowed to police private user content, given we're on a forum with the name "Hacker" on it, built by ex-hackers, and with part of its member's interests heritage not in and "enabling enterpreneurs" but in hacking (in the MIT sense of yore).

No, like many others commenting on the issue, you seem to only have a vague idea of how it works. Only photos being uploaded to iCloud are being scanned for CSAM.

In this case, they're explicitly required by law to report this material if it shows up on their servers.

It's also possible to 'hide' photos from the reel in the photos app. Many people are unaware of that feature so an attacker could hide as many photos they want in your iCloud.
