Apple’s New ‘Child Safety’ Initiatives, and the Slippery Slope — Daring Fireball

Matthew Green:
Regardless of what Apple’s long term plans are, they’ve sent a very clear signal. In their (very influential) opinion, it is safe to build systems that scan users’ phones for prohibited content.
That’s the message they’re sending to governments, competing services, China, you.

EvaEva:
Louder, for the people in the back: it’s impossible to build a client-side scanning system that can only be used for sexually explicit images sent or received by children.

Drew McCormack:
The reason Apple’s approach is going far too far comes down to one thing: the difference between law enforcement, where an agency needs good reason to access private data, and surveillance. Apple’s approach is surveillance. (And from the company that made the 1984 ad.)

Julian Sanchez:
I’m curious how far they’ve thought out the legal end of this. A government (ours or an uglier one) approaches Apple with a court order saying “here’s a list of hash values we want you to add to the scan list you’re pushing out”. Can they refuse? Or even tell anyone?

Julian Sanchez:
And a whole bunch of the arguments Apple deployed in the San Bernardino encryption case don’t obviously apply if they’ve already built the scan architecture & a government is just adding items to a preexisting list.

Perry E. Metzger:
I cannot imagine owning a phone that might decide on its own to send copies of all my photographs to the government for analysis if some piece of software I’m forced to run decides the photos are bad, but that’s precisely what is apparently being deployed.
