The next update of Apple's operating systems - iOS 15, iPados15, Watchos 8 and Macos Monterey - will bring with it a new feature that is already lifting a Vespaio.
His name is Csam (Child Sexual Abuse Material) and was born with a sacrosanct purpose: fighting the spread of material that portrays sexual abuse conducted on minors.
It is the method that is raising various protests.CSAM, in fact, will analyze each image loaded on iCloud Photos (where by default the backup of the contents present on the Apple brand devices) takes place automatically), will create a hash starting from it and will compare it with the hash present in a database in whichAll the known child pornographic material is collected.
If it meets a number of correspondences, it will signal the thing in Apple, which will provide for a "manual revision" not of the original material but of the associated metadata and the outcome of the analysis by CSAM.

It's not all here: the messages app will also change."Messages will use machine learning systems installed on the device to analyze the attached images and determine if a photo is sexually explicit".In the event of a positive response, "the photo will be blurred and the minor will be notified;He will also be provided with resources that can help him, and he will be confirmed that he will be fine if he does not want to see that photograph ".

A similar system will prevent the sending of red light photos from minors and even parents will receive a notice if a minor receives or sends photos considered explicit.
The concerns of those who are making their voices heard so that Apple rethinking us and eliminates CSAM should at this point be evident: despite everyone admits that the end is noble, the fact that a private company decides to systematically violate the privacy of its users isevident.
The accusation, aimed at the apple company, of having substantially created a surveillance system for its own use and consumption (and, in theory, usable for any other purpose in addition to the declared one),.

The problem of false positives cannot even be underestimated: although Apple guarantees that this possibility is just "one on a bilion", the tendency of automatic systems to consider illegal also what is not.
Among the critics of Apple's decision there is also Edward Snowden, the former CIA technician who revealed many secret documents of the American government (and not only), who also commented on Twitter the unofficial response (comes from a memointerior) of Apple to the criticisms, considered with enough "the screams of a minority".

The various items that contest CSAM have also produced a letter addressed to Apple, published online and that can be signed via Github, with which you ask not only to stop the implementation of that technology in the next versions of the operating systems but also that Applepublicly confirm your commitment to guaranteeing the end-to-end encryption of content, and the privacy of users.
Apple at the moment has not officially recognized the protest and, therefore, has not issued any public commentary;However, considering the tenor of the internal letter, it is unlikely that he takes seriously the possibility of retracting his steps.
