I remember OneDrive doing this too, where photos of parents' children taking a bath etc. were flagged as child porn. Unfortunately unless you encrypt your data locally, privacy is one of the tradeoffs in using these services.
This happens with Apple iCloud as well. Staff member had their iCloud photo collection locked because of this. Was able to regain access but I would definitely caution anyone storing all family photos online without another backup option.
According to NCMEC Apple does not do any proactive scanning of photos.
> Last year, while Meta’s Facebook and Instagram submitted a combined 26 million reports, Google 2 million, and TikTok nearly 300,000, Apple submitted 234. The year before that: 160.
> Apple isn’t a social media company, so this is hardly a direct comparison. That said, WhatsApp, which is end-to-end encrypted, scans unencrypted content such as profile and group photos for CSAM. It provided over 1 million cybertips to NCMEC in 2022; Microsoft sent in 110,000; Dropbox, nearly 46,000; and Synchronoss, the cloud storage provider for Verizon, over 30,000.
I'd venture to say Apple probably has a "less false positives" policy than the others. I can't say whether or not they do or do not scan, but if they review incidents with humans and not automated this could be why. They probably know flagging / disabling / reporting accounts incorrectly has a high cost on user satisfaction.
They canceled their plans for client-side scanning. They do scan content on their servers. Therefore whether your data in iCloud Photos is scanned depends on whether Advanced Data Protection is enabled or not. It’s disabled by default. Enabling ADP will turn on E2E encryption and disable account access via iCloud.com.
I don't know anything about what you're talking about. Where do I start to learn some of the AI terminology, models, benefits and drawbacks of each, etc?
And surely THESE justices are the magically right ones!
The supreme court is made up of people, and a significant amount of it's current people have very specific ideologies from very specific institutions. Why is it clear the opinion crafted by that institution is the "correct" one?
The US has privacy enshrined in the highest law of the land, the 4th Amendment to the US Constitution. The problem is that the courts have eroded the meaning and allowed loopholes in the name of "national security", which itself is a term that has been perverted.
Maybe I'm cynical, but in leaving so many critical information points out, Docker appears to be fear mongering organizations into paying for a subscription. If they provided answers to all these points, then orgs would be able to make a logical decision. By leaving these questions unanswered, orgs are incentivized to move to paid just to avoid any unknown consequences.
He's also restored countless accounts that were banned under previous ownership. While banning ElonJet flys in the face of being a "free speech absolutist", he's certainly demonstrated that he's generally in favor of freer speech.
He's demonstrated he's generally in favor of speech he likes. I don't think there's any obvious connection between those accounts getting banned/unbanned under his leadership other than "does Elon like this account?"
He certainly has not demonstrated that he's in favor of free speech. He did restore a bunch of accounts - mostly far right trolls - and banned a bunch of others. It's not like Twitter wasn't a cesspool before, but he managed to make it worse while blaming the previous regime for being asleep at the wheel. The guy who used to be in charge of content moderation recently had to flee his home after Musk suggested Twitter had been turning a blind eye to child abuse and his army of sycophants went on the warpath. This is after he fired the entire team responsible for dealing with that garbage. He accuses companies who are cutting back advertising of being against free speech. The guy is a straight up cyber bully. Anyone paying attention has known that for years. Free speech only matters when it's his own free speech.
> he's certainly demonstrated that he's generally in favor of freer speech.
He's just changed who gets banned to be more in line with his personal beliefs. Accounts banned under the previous regime are unbanned and accounts that either were or likely would be permitted previously are now banned, with recent examples being the account that initially hosted the viral clip of Elon being booed on Chappelle's show and now ElonJet.
The latter example is particularly important, since both the public and Elon himself seemed to view this account as a litmus test of his commitment to "free speech."
well seems like he reactivated his account(pretty sure you got like 30 days or something to reactivate it after deleting or something like that), here's an archive of how it looked: https://archive.ph/W0d0v
The elonjet account however is a pretty bad one gotta agree, wonder if there will be any kind of explanation or attempt at one.
Twitter has also banned lots of left wing activist accounts, maybe we can agree that he has demonstrated that he's in favor of some free speech but not of free other speech?
seeing this as supporting "freer" is a take that falls apart pretty quickly when you specifically look at who's benefiting from this newfound "freerness"
