Apple to scan US iPhones for images of child sexual abuse
VOA says Apple has unveiled plans to scan U.S. iPhones for images of child sexual abuse, drawing applause from child protection groups but raising concern among some security researchers that the system could be misused, including by governments looking to surveil their citizens.
The tool designed to detect known images of child sexual abuse, called “neuralMatch,” will scan images before they are uploaded to iCloud. If it finds a match, a human will review the image. If child pornography is confirmed, the user’s account will be disabled and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children will be notified.
