Is Apple checking images we view in the Finder?

Do not let Apple off the hook. This must be removed.

This functionality will be used in other global jurisdictions to clamp down on freedom. In a world where we cede more control and increasingly subjugate ourselves, it's only a matter of time before it's used against us too.

Say no to monitoring.

So the thing the article concludes isn’t being done, must be removed?

Maybe that's the case. We should be vigilant and treat the concern with utmost seriousness.

Once upon a time, Apple announced they would do this. We can't ever let them.

The article concludes that there isn't evidence it's being done -- which is different.

Apple should not be trusted without evidence. We should be able to verify what our devices are sending to Apple, Google and others.

But they aren’t monitoring. And a hash doesn’t help you monitor unless you’ve got a hash of another image like CSAM. And you can turn this off if you want.

Honestly I know everyone thinks that everything is a slippery slope to death camps. But sometimes it’s just a cool helpful feature.
