Capitalism: Apple are bad guys looking to hurt you
  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Apple has started scanning photos uploaded from iPhones to check for child sexual abuse images.

    Jane Horvath, Apple’s chief privacy officer, revealed at a tech conference that the company automatically screens images backed up to the company’s online storage service, iCloud, to check whether they contain the illegal photos. Ms Horvath said removing encryption was “not the way we’re solving these issues” but added: “We are utilising some technologies to help screen for child sexual abuse material.”

    Apple representative efficiently declared that Apple has no security and worse of it all - it runs 100% of your photos via advanced NN with later manual human markings (face recognition, object recognition). And it does not matter that it is usual "pedophiles" who are declared as mythical goal. Actual goal is to build special location/identification based relations graphs that can tell authorities or bank or your business owner huge amount of info about you.

    Child photos can even be legally used by authorities to press any opposing family to drop any economic or political actions or their children will be taken from them. No need for any human reports anymore, if NSA (err Apple) neural network decides something it is enough.

    Learn to use Google, I am ok to provide source on complex rare things or where I do not have big enough citation, but not on mass media.

    Especially as few articles I checked on this are specially made to make it hard for people to grasp that Apple actually is doing.

    And finally obvious facts:

    Apple Inc (AAPL.O) dropped plans to let iPhone users fully encrypt backups of their devices in the company’s iCloud service after the FBI complained that the move would harm investigations, six sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

    It shows how much Apple has been willing to help U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies.

    An Apple spokesman declined to comment on the company’s handling of the encryption issue or any discussions it has had with the FBI.

    If just summary it short - FBI already has special interface to access all your data in the cloud.
