Sorry, to clarify, you do in fact support Apple running the exact same scans on their server side CPUs? A situation that has the exact same effects on society...?

Your only concern then, is with a future authoritarian policy of your own imagination?



>A situation that has the exact same effects on society...?

Of all your (mis)leading questions, this one sticks out the most as being of particularly bad faith.


Can you explain why?

Commenters here are making claims about false positives, arrests of innocents, lived ruined etc. These effects are identical whether uploads are scanned before or after transmission.

What are the different effects of society from scanning the upload before transmission?


Yes, but

> A situation that has the exact same effects on society...?

This is patently false.

You do come off as arguing in bad faith, resorting to debasing any concerns of policy misuse as simply a product of the imagination of the person raising the concern. As if authoritarian policies and erosion of freedom/privacy are something completely baseless, impossible and unheard of, instead of happening all the time.


It's still not clear to me whether you are raising an issue with scanning client side, or your concern is actually with some other policy you expect to be implemented in future.

What is the most obviously different effect on society? I don't know how anyone would even know what CPU calculated their file hash.
