Apple & EU slammed for dangerous child abuse imagery scanning plans
Security researchers say that Apple's CSAM prevention plans, and the EU's similar proposals, represent "dangerous technology," that expands the "surveillance powers of the state." Apple has not yet announced when it intends to introduce its child protection features, after postponing them because of concerns from security experts. Now a team of researchers have published a report saying that similar plans from both Apple and the European Union, represent a national security issue. According to the New York Times, the report comes from more than a dozen cybersecurity researchers. The group began its study before Apple's initial announcement, and say they are publishing despite Apple's delay, in order to warn the EU about this "dangerous technology." < - > Report link @ https://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb/papers/bugs21.pdf -- Iw mailing list [email protected] http://sticklist.org/mailman/listinfo/iw_sticklist.org
