Last year, Apple announced that iCloud Photos would be able to detect inappropriate material in users’ photos based on a database of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) image hashes. While Apple wouldn’t see these photos since it would use on-device processing, it generated a lot of criticism from privacy and security researchers.
Now, after announcing a new Advanced Data Protection for iCloud, the company’s executive Craig Federighi has confirmed that Apple will not roll out the CSAM detection system for iPhone users as the company has stopped developing it.
