Rotten Apples: iOS 15, personal privacy, and the on-going fight against CSAM.

This fall, Apple is planning to release iOS 15 which will begin scanning your devices and iCloud for known images depicting the sexual abuse of minors. Apple is attempting to assuage the public and claims that these features will scan personal devices and cloud storage “while designing for user privacy.” Is this yet another case of invasive surveillance hidden under the guise of protecting the children or is Apple attempting to walk the fine line between preventing the spread of abusive material and protecting user privacy?
