A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

They did this exact thing for csam detection a while back, and were made to stop due to public outcry.
It might have been analyzed locally and before encryption then though, still however without consent of the user and sending problematic results to apple.
It is very realistic that here they would make the device decrypt and check the description against a database and make it send the file and description off for reporting when a match is found.
