@kbarker @timbray @briankrebs @mmasnick @Edent It’s certainly curious what `mediaanalysisd` is doing over the network, but it should have nothing to do with CSAM fingerprint checking. Apple’s original proposal for that was to do the fingerprint checking locally, on device. And regardless, Craig Federighi told Joanna Stern of the WSJ last month they shelved that whole plan: daringfireball.net/linked/2022

checking on-device without a subsequent API call is nonsensical.
