Re:On Apple’s “Expanded Protections for Children” – A Person... by p2t2p on Friday August 06, 2021 @09:27AM (#28086844)
This is a lie. Did you try reading the actual announcement by Apple? It's right here: https://www.apple.com/child-safety/.

- The scanning will be performed only if photos are to be uploaded to iCloud.

- The database will be encrypted multiple times in a way that it can't be clearly read.

- There's not notification to Apple in any way in case of matches.

- Instead, each match result is again encrypted in a way that is inaccessible to Apple and uploaded together with photo

- If there a lot of positive matches, they eventually will become able to decrypt it. That's when they will do manual check, lock the account if it is correct and notify authorities.
