An Open Letter Against Apple's Privacy-Invasive Content Scanning Technology
I recently listened to a Darknet Diaries episode on messaging app Kik. This app is apparently being used by many people to trade child pornography. In this episode, there was some criticism expressed on how Kik doesn&#x27;t scan all the images on their platform for child pornography.<p>I would really like to hear from people who sign this open letter, how they think about this. Should the internet be a free for all place without moderation? Where are the boundaries for moderation (if it has to exist), one-on-one versus group chat, public versus private chat?<p>To quote this open letter: “Apple is opening the door to broader abuses”. Wouldn&#x27;t not doing anything open a different door to broader abuse?<p>Edit: I would really love an actual answer, since responses until now have been &quot;but muh privacy&quot;. You can&#x27;t plead for unlimited privacy and ignore the impact of said privacy. If you want unlimited privacy, at least have the balls to admit that this will allow free trade of CSAM, but also revenge porn, snuff-films and other things like it.
