            Apple searching your iCloud photos

            Apple has come under fire recently because of their new machine learning they're adding to identify Child Sex Abuse Material. What are Apple trying to do? Are they looking into your phone and creating a backdoor? Why are people against this? Ehsan and I discuss.
