Oh don't worry, Google is way ahead of Apple when it comes to scanning users' data on devices. I would be surprised if Google weren't doing this but remotely (vs. on-device).

They are doing this remotely, and the thing is its BETTER to do it remotely than on device. The issue here with Apple is that they want to move this type of scanning on-device. No one has really complained about them scanning for CSAM on iCloud. The data is NOT e2ee in iCloud, there is literally no reason for them to move this scanning to on-device.

I dont think that he is talking about scanning in the cloud which we know that Google is already doing for profit.... he is talking about scanning on your phone from a remote server which is WORST.

I have transformed my company from macOS to Arch Linux in one week. Never buying Apple product again.

People who find "normal" to host a hashed database with CSAM on their devices and computers which is provided by private organization(received 30+ millions from DOJ) are making a wrong choice.

People who are technically educated and refusing to see that this implementation is not required by any law, "encryption" and "system design" is made to full the masses and remove Apple from responsibility, are stupid.

Period. If someone comes to work for me and demands Apple hardware I will show him/her the door. I don't want to work with people who prioritize "emotional perception" over "rational analysis".

Apple singlehandedly created a new interpretation of "privacy" in which is normal to be "observed" on your property.

I stick my neck for the original definition which is;

A state in which one is not observed or disturbed by other people.
