Call me crazy, but I don’t think corporations should be in the business of scanning everyone’s private data on behalf of “the authorities”.

Too many ways it can go very wrong.

This title is misleading click bait for an article advocating for intrusive data scanning, which by the way, cannot be completely automated.

Here's a snippet of the iCloud TOS which specifically forbids CSA on iCloud.

You agree that you will NOT use the Service to:

a. upload, download, post, email, transmit, store, share, import or otherwise make available any Content that is unlawful, harassing, threatening, harmful, tortious, defamatory, libelous, abusive, violent, obscene, vulgar, invasive of another’s privacy....

Further down, the same TOS specifically calls out that such content may be identified or removed by Apple

Again, not defending Apple, but I'd rather not have them or an army of underpaid contractors search through people's pictures as a type of corporate law enforcement, because "think of the children". This is a systemic problem which can be addressed without invading EVERYONE's privacy

Remove locks from all your houses. Locks allow child abuse to go on without being reported.

No, people don’t want this. To be clear, I AM NOT saying that people don’t want the end to CSAM. I would say most people want that. What I am saying is that people don’t want someone to spy on your data to stop it. Spying on everyone to catch the few sickos out their is not cool. Apple protects privacy, and that’s what I want.

Illegal drugs are transported on the interstate. The department of transportation should be held accountable for not searching every vehicle.

Heat Initiative is launching a multi-million dollar campaign in which it presses Apple on this issue.

I can’t help but wonder which generous benefactors are providing Heat these multi-millions of dollars in order to pressure apple into compromising privacy?

child safety advocacy group Heat Initiative wants corrupt governments to be able to scan your personal device for: evidence of sexual orientation, firearms ownership, anti-government speech, political affiliation, messages from any sort of sexual affair, oh yes, and CSAM.

Please think of the children! lol.

If that is true provide the evidence to the FBI and they'll arrest People. That isn't what is done because they have no evidence and breaking encryption is the real goal.

Dang here we go again
