importantly, Apple's denial regarding their previously proposed scanning tool for *iCloud Photos* leaves them wide open to deploy on-device scanning for NON-iCloud (i.e. LOCAL) photos without lying.

Apple does this sort of PR all of the time. It exploits poor reading comprehension and causes people to misunderstand, then report and amplify those misunderstandings.

It's important to remember that all photos in iCloud are *already being scanned* svrside

@lewin@digitalcourage.social @kkarhan @kubikpixel @schurt3r

we are not talking about iCloud Photos. iCloud Photos are already scanned in iCloud by Apple for illegal content as they are not end to end encrypted.

we're talking about LOCAL, ON-DEVICE scanning for people who DO NOT USE ICLOUD.

apple's denial has nothing to do with the topic under discussion.

ok campers rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's COOOOOLD out there today

@jayinkyiv soldiers are barbarians regardless of the country. it self-selects for the violent and uncivilized. most of the russian people don't want war, same as in any country. be careful personifying nations.

anyone wanna bet it can detect anything on your mac that apple wants to detect?

@abdulocracy note that this toot was written at 9pm on a saturday while i rebuild my mailserver container because ubuntu sucks

@abdulocracy no because i have a life

@quixote @jessicawildfire tbh we probably won't find out, most people so affected will just die unstudied

ubuntu including rspamd packages (which are so out of date as to be an active hazard) in ubuntu is really sad and caused me a lot of wasted time today. i literally would have been better off if they didn't have the package in the repo, i would not have to redo this work today.
