by J.C. DE MARTIN Aug. 10, 2021

Aug. 10, 2021

Spero di sbagliarmi, ma ho la sensazione che stiano cadendo tutti gli argini residui. jc *Apple's Plan to "Think Different" About Encryption Opens a Backdoor to Your Private Life** * By India McKinney and Erica Portnoy August 5, 2021 Apple has announced impending changes to its operating systems that include new “protections for children” features in iCloud and iMessage.

The company will also examine the contents of end-to-end encrypted messages for the first time. Sign up to Alex Hern’s weekly technology newsletter, TechScape. Apple’s tool, called neuralMatch, will scan images before they are uploaded to the company’s iCloud Photos online storage, comparing them against a database of known child abuse imagery. If a strong enough match is flagged, then Apple staff will be able to manually review the reported images, and, if child abuse is confirmed, the user’s account will be disabled and the National Center for Missing and Exploited [...]
