Apple is planning to scan U.S. iPhones for images of child abuse, drawing applause from child protection groups but raising concern among some security researchers that the system could be used to surveil citizens.
How do you train an algorithm like that? It says they have a hashlist, but you can't convert a hash back into an image to train a classifier. Whose stash of confirmed child porn was this trained on?
I'm not trying to argue you're wrong, you're almost certainly right but where is this unimaginable giant stash of government owned child porn stored? How long has it been stored there? Have they only been collecting it since they realized this kind of thing could be possible? Who exactly in the government said "we are now collecting child porn", and when did they say it?
The most charitable legitimate use cases for a government cp database would be evidence from past cases, and at least nominally for busting child porn rings or kingpins or distributors or whatever

the source images for the list are from law enforcement

That job has to suck so much shit. Database administrator to the child porn collection, yeesh.
Split on it. The privacy shit sucks, no way to blunt that. But I'm personally willing to give up a lot to keep kids from being fucked. Don't know.
Yeah, if it were another entity (not us government + multi-trillion dollar corp) doing the snooping I'd be more okay with it
Tim apple to the pigs: hey, you don’t happen to have, like, a giant .zip full of, uh, child porn, do you? It’s… for a proj—
Pig: hey, say no more brother, just take it easy in there
