Worried about Apple's plans to scan iPhones for certain images?? According to a note that the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children sent Apple workers working on the scan function, those concerns are “the shrill voices of the minority”.
9to5Mac you have a couple of leaked notes sent to Apple workers internally. A memorandum from Sebastien Marineau-Mes, Apple vice president of software, says there has been “misunderstandings”:
We know that some people have misunderstandings and more than a few are concerned about the implications., but we will continue to explain and detail the features so that people understand what we have built.
Marita Rodriguez, executive director of strategic partnerships of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which Apple is working closely with on the scan feature, sent a memo to Apple workers who work in this role encouraging them to ignore concerns about the implications of this. characteristic:
I know it's been a long day and many of you probably haven't slept in 24 hours. We know the days to come will be filled with the shrill voices of the minority.
Our voices will be louder.
Evidently, this is a difficult topic. It is difficult to even write a post like this, pointing out that a trait seemingly created for good could have bad implications. Again: What happens when a country like China uses this feature to find people with critical images of the government? Why wouldn't the industry want to start looking for pirated content on iPhones in a few years?
But, even when Apple says that we, the people we are worried about, we have "misunderstandings" about what is happening, ignoring us as a "loud minority" will not calm us down.
