> Apple can search for arbitrary information on user’s property.

This is simply false, if you are referring to the CSAM mechanism.



Which part is false?

They state they begin with image data (with a data set they control). In the future, they “can” evolve the scope to anything.

Read the EFF articles. They are well written.

So, they can’t now then.


The EFF’s articles were full of lies and false assumptions.


What do you think is stopping Apple from including a hash of Tank Man along with all of the real CSAM hashes?


I guess it is a rhetorical question, but this is what will happen next if Apple doesn't halt this scanning initiative.

Too big to listen seems to be what Apple thinks of this matter.


The fact you can only use ‘tank man’ as the example proves that they can’t search for arbitrary information.

It’s a meaningless example in any case given that Chinese authorities have no problem forcing people to install spyware directly on their devices.
