Apple to roll out checking of photos for child abuse country-by-country
- Saturday | 7th August, 2021
(Reuters) -Apple Inc will roll out a system for checking photos for child abuse imagery on a country-by-country basis, depending on local laws, the company said on Friday. Child safety groups praised Apple as it joined Facebook Inc, Microsoft Corp, Alphabet Inc’s Google in taking such measures. Apple has a human review process that acts as a backstop against government abuse, it added. The company will not pass reports from its photo checking system to law enforcement if the review finds no child abuse imagery. For the past few years, law enforcement and politicians have wielded the scourge of child abuse material to decry strong encryption, in the way they had previously cited the need to curb terrorism.
