#2Ah, the classic 'think of the children' approach to increasing surveillance. If you're opposed to it, what are you, a nonce?

I mean, who's to say that my hash is actually what they think it is...
...and if it's not uploaded to iCloud for someone to manually review what the image is, is that going to be enough to get a search warrant for my phone?
"AUSA SOMEONE: But, Your Honor, The Defendant's phone has an image that matched a hash of a CSAM picture!"
"DEFENDANT: I'm not going to give you my phone's password."
"THE COURT: Bonk: Stay in jail for contempt."
I understand why they're doing it. I don't agree with it. At all, and I say that as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse.

#5Whose to say what is abuse? Are Caesar Milan tactics on a child abuse? This is outright dangerous beyond belief. Nobody is gonna wanna be a parent if you have to worry about your kid being mad at you and then posts something like that.
IIRC there was a teenage girl that lied about her father molesting her back in the 2000s. No evidence, just pure hearsay. Dude was locked up for like 10 years. Now imagine that on a greater scale with several videos and photos taken out of context.

#6So is the phash code actually going to run locally (I.e. can dump it and figure out the function) or is it only running on icloud?

IIRC they've already been running it on icloud photos for a year or two. Hashing local files is the step they're taking now

#9Scan for child abuse today; scan for wrong-think tomorrow. I'm liking the idea of Graphene OS more and more each day... or just going phone-free entirely.

Excuse me, sweetie, but "think of the trans" is a very important movement. It prevents suicides, helps bring gender equality, raises awareness, and creates tech jobs for trans activists to assist in stopping online transphobia.
