| >I think you have misunderstood the system. On a technical level I think you're correct. As a holistic approach to the problem, I still disagree. This is too cute for its own good. The PR misunderstanding is a symptom of that. >The second scan applies only for those images which are flagged as positive, which are then accessible by Apple. In the end, Apples software is scanning all of the images, why is it any more privacy respecting to do it this way? I guess reasonable people can disagree on that, personally I wasn't fully aware of the cloud side scanning either, and I don't think the public was either. This is similar to Snowden's revelations, if you were paying attention you probably already knew a lot of that, but the incident made everyone aware of it in a very blunt way. >The rest of the images stays encrypted I think this is unclear, Apple can still decrypt those other images, how else could you view them in a browser? This goes back to what Stratechery said about capability vs policy. |
Obviously there is change coming to iCloud. Otherwise whole PSI protocol is pointless.
