Apple is being sued in the US for its decision not to implement a system that scanned iCloud photos for child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
The company announced the feature back in 2021, but never launched, and “does not take any measures to detect or restrict” this material. The lawsuit was filed by a 27-year-old woman. She said she was molested by relatives when she was a newborn and he posted photos of her online. The girl receives notifications from authorities almost every day that someone is accused of possessing these images.
Lawyer James Marsh, who addressed the lawsuit, said there was a potential group of 2,680 victims who could be entitled to the camera in this case.
Apple said it is “urgently and aggressively innovating to combat viruses without compromising the security and privacy of all users.” [The Verge]
