At the Cost of Privacy Apple’s New Software has the Potential to Combat Abuse.
Summary
This August, Apple announced plans to release a tool called NeuralMatch to scan photos being uploaded to iCloud and compare them to a database of known child abuse images. Since then, a great deal of controversy and privacy concerns have arisen around the software, leading Apple to postpone its release and spend more time developing the tool. They would find another way to create those images.” Simon also expressed concerns about effectiveness, pointing out the software’s focus on specific apps and its inability to scan the device as a whole. Simon said he doesn’t agree with Apple’s decision to focus solely on iCloud and iMessages and believes a more comprehensive service is needed to truly address the problem. “But I think the parents need constant training, too, on how they can be good gatekeepers for the children and teens in their life.” “I think any campaign that focuses on stopping the sharing of content like that should also support ways you can get help for that,” Simon added.
