> 2. Anyway, is that legal ? Even if some crazy store material on his Apple hardware isn't that illegal search non usable in law courts ? Yes, it's considered legal. Apple reviews the content first. Courts say this means it is not an illegal government search. It's a search by a private party, who then manually decides to notify the government. |

No, it's not. At least not here in Germany. By law, even police officers are not allowed to look at child porn. The only institution explicitely allowed to do so is the BSI.
The rest of the population implicitely incriminates themselves when they look at (not own) child porn, including Apple's legal entity or employees.
See [1] for 184b Strafgesetzbuch
I'm trying to point out that with this action Apple bluntly decided to ignore a whole lot of countries and their federal laws, which is not something I would embrace - even when they had good intentions.
